We had 2 and used a heavy galvanized chain purchased from Lowes by the foot and a good master lock.

There's no such thing as a good Master lock. All Master locks are relatively easy to pick and all chain is very easily cut.

Not all chain is easy to cut. Try and cut this Chain

Better set aside a week or bring a torch.

Even if I couldn't cut through that chain, I could cut through the pipe it is wrapped around with my hacksaw in about two minutes.

Or remove the front wheel from that bike in less than a minute.

Those parking poles are often filled with concrete

Your one tough guy..To cut just the steel in TWO minutes..
You are not going to cut concrete with your hack saw

I have bought an alarm with a pager and will use a chain and lock to the trailer tongue. My bedroom is at the front of the trailer and the Collies would let me know if anyone was outside.

I have read about theft in southern Florida and hope northern Florida is not as bad.

Thanks to all that took the time to reply.

As a Floridian I must protest: Don't believe everything you read.

Of course certain areas of large metro areas have high crime areas but not the entire southern part of the state!

I have camped in SW Florida for over 30 years and NEVER had even one item stolen by humans.

Now raccoons, they are another story for another time.

In all fairness I have not been to Southern Florida. I have to rely on info from people who have.

colliehauler: I dare say that I have a little more experience with SW Florida than someone that just visited there.

I not only camped there,

I lived there for my entire adult life. (35 years)

Naples Florida in Southwest Florida is my hometown.

Take normal precautions but don't over think this.

SW Florida has a burglary rate not much higher than Kansas.

Don't believe me, review the crime rates yourself at the U.S. Department Of Justice: Link

they go after the out-of-staters. :B

Good guess but wrong.

I have attained the high plateau of 62 years.:B

Retired and went full time at 53.

That's not very reassuring right now as there is a post of a person having their trailer stolen in Olathe KS. :E

Glad to know it's not a major problem. And yes I believe you.
