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...

Locking the release arm might be a good thing, although I don't do it. When we pull into a truck stop or rest area, one of us is always either in the truck or very close around it so it's always in sight. I will be sure to add it to my walk-around though. Good idea to check it and the breakaway switch as well.
While parked at a campground, we keep our roll-up tonneu cover closed and the tailgate locked. The only way to get into the back would be to cut open the cover, climb into the truck, and wrestle that 200# pound hitch out of there. No quick feat, unless you are a tall weight lifter! And a cardinal rule of thieves is to get in quick, grab what you came for, and get out quick, with a little hassel as possible. Pretty tough under those conditions!
