Fifth wheel hitch theft
Hi all. New to a fifth wheel and just had my hitch installed. I notice that the hitch is attached to the bed rails with four pins. Has anyone ever had their hitch stolen from the bed of their truck...

Thanks everyone. My wife says I worry too much. I guess I do. Thanks again.
Worrying is OK as long as it doesn't become paranoid :B
I've had several hitches in various trucks in numerous locations and never had it stolen. They were always in the bed cause I didn't want to remove them.
When towing and you have stopped (rest stop, lunch etc.) get into the routine of doing a walk around check.
Look at the tires, check the hitch latched, check the emergency cable, check the pigtail, look over the rig.
I always do two....one with an IR Thermometer to check hubs, tires on 5vr & truck (check rotors on truck), inspect tires.
Only takes a couple of minutes.
Then when I get back I do another check...just in case I missed something OR somebody has been messing around.
