Friends had their toad pass them on the side of the road while driving along the freeway in the desert. They think the hitch pins had been removed by someone at a restaurant parking lot earlier. They recovered their toad, undamaged, and reconnected it, padlocking the hitch on every trip thereafter.
I've always padlocked our hitch.
I use to, but don't any more. But I sure do check the lynch pins as part of my pre-trip walk around before pulling out of anywhere I'm stopped! I also carry extra ones, just in case.
