Trailers, especially small trailers, are an attractive target for thieves. However, there are many ways to secure it. The best way I've seen is what a former co-worker of mine did, where he sunk a security anchor into his driveway, and during the off-season, has a chain + high security padlock attached to the tether and the trailer's frame. With a lock on the hitch to let thieves know the trailer is secured, his trailer has remained in place while other people's have disappeared.
One of the simplest (although far from foolproof) ways to help secure a small trailer while in one's driveway is to position it so that the tongue is near and pointing towards the house. It's a lot harder to quickly grab a trailer and take off if you can't get a tow vehicle's trailer hitch ball under the tongue.
