Surge Guard Universal Lock ??
I'm a little confused with this Surge Guard Universal Lock. Looks to me like if someone wanted to steal it just unplug it from the power post and then unplug the 50 Amp cable from the trailer and walk...

or, better yet, install a Surge Protector inside the RV. It won't be stolen and you won't forget it hanging on the post or forget to connect it for an overnight stay.
The downside is "installation required". When the Surge Protector does its job and blow up you can't easily disconnect the shore cable from it and bypass it or quickly replace it.

Or am I missing something here??

It's 100% plastic. I have one of them. I don't use it. A pry bar can defeat the hinge and break it open. Even if the thief does not have the tools to break it open, they only need to disconnect it from the pedestal and lay it on the ground and then take about 15 second with a hack saw to cut off your shore power cable.
If it gives you peace of mind then by all means buy it. RVs are not well designed for security. On most RVs the basement doors can be popped open with a screwdriver faster than with using the key.
