Wow. Lots of replies. Thanks for all the insight. We are not worried about security at home. Mostly when on the road. I think the idea is more just to make it an inconvenience so they would rather move on to somebody else’s trailer. :). I like the chain idea and the old ball locked in the receiver idea. We’ll give it some thought folks. We sure appreciate all the responses though.
Cheers.
As far as being stolen on the road. A coupler lock is a good deterent, but nothing will be foolproof. Nothing will slow down a prepared thief that has targeted and scoped out your trailer.
The coupler lock wll be more of a hassle for you than a deterent to the thief.
An insurance policy is there to protect your assets.
Worrying about theft on the road is futile. I'm not naive enough to believe theft doesn't happen, however I'm also not paranoid enough to worry about it happening to me.
The whole point of insurance is to protect us from the unforeseen incident
I can understand the theft concern if you are forced to store your trailer in a sketchy location. However the concern that you will be randomly targeted while on the road is unwarranted.
