The above reply is why I like a relatively short in length trailer. I have even thought of something like a Yuppie Wagon (which is fairly overpriced for its size, but it seems to be well built), just because it can be detached and rolled somewhere by hand.
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.
