A quick Krylon overhaul will mask any trailer that has "special" paint or decals.
any "safety" lock can probably be defeated with a small Victor "hot wrench" (one of those little oxy/acetylene cutting torches in the pack-around case. I have one. handy little bugger!).
Every time I think of "security", I think of the day when I spent all afternoon installing the latest and greatest kitchen drawer and cupboard door "child proof security locks" in our kitchen. By the time I got the last one installed, the 4 year old boy had figured out how to open them. Quite simply, a total waste of money and time!
ANY lock is merely a device to keep honest people honest.
A truly dedicated crook has the tools at hand to defeat anything we can put on a trailer: Crowbar, 5 pound hammer, chisel, sawzall, cutting torch, whatever he needs, he (or she) has it or can readily get it!
Of course, we can still try to keep thing secure, but we shouldn't be too surprised when it fails.
good luck.
