When camped, I attach the hitch to the coupler and padlock it. That way both the trailer and the hitch is secured with a hardened padlock. Yes, it is still only a padlock, but better than nothing.
Couldn't a thief pull up, slide the hitch into his hitch receiver, and done?
I've never tried it, but someone who did said it wasn't as easy as he thought. You have to be perfectly lined up for the hitch to slid into the receiver, then be able to install the pin once the holes are lined up. I believe he ended up giving up and doing it the ol fashioned way.
