The invention relates to a method and a corresponding device for protecting a charging cable against theft. The invention discloses a control unit for a vehicle, and the vehicle can be connected via a charging cable to an electrical power source. The charging cable has a cable control unit, which is configured to achieve or suppress the charging process through the charging cable. The control unit is configured to detect whether a plug of the charging cable is pulled out of a charging socket of the vehicle or not. Furthermore, the control unit is configured to determine an indication that the plug is pulled out of the charging socket in an unallowed manner.
