I've learned from experience that a chain through the wheel might not do the trick.
While motel camping during an ATV jamborees I would always lock my RZR to the utility trailer with a cable and lock, and generally have a hitch lock for the front of the trailer for when I left the trailer at the motel unhitched from the truck. Forgot the lock on one trip so I ran cable through the trailer wheel in addition to locking down the RZR. Next morning, pouring rain, hooked up quickly and did overly fast walk around. I'm used to seeing the cable locking the RZR to the trailer and totally brain dumped that it now went through the wheel as well. Seems my diesel truck torque resulted in my not even being able to feel the tire not turning. Got far enough down the road in the rain prior to hearing a strange noise that I had to replace the tire due to having worn it down to the cords.
