Another junk hitch lock
Ridiculous how weak the lock on this Master brand hitch lock is. Looks like a decent design if it had a better lock. Clicky Master two-fer Clicky

Any lock that uses a normal traditional key can be picked just as easy as those videos describe. That's basic lock picking 101 there. That's why some locks are now created with different types of keys, some round, some flat with etching lines, all kinds of methods for attempting to make a lock more secure.
The bottom line is, every lock has it's vulnerability. Even the most advanced, electronic, computerized, sophisticated bank safe in the world has it's vulnerability. You've just got to know where it is and how to do it to by-pass the honest way of opening it!
What we are counting on is, the average person who might be tempted to simply walk by and do a "snatch and grab" won't do that, because it take a second longer to take something. That second gives the "honest" person an opportunity to rethink his actions and stay "honest." A true thief will get anything!
But, if the OP can design and build a better one, that's truly thief proof, I'd buy it in a heart beat!
