Re: Trailer security
 

I always lock my coupler and the 2" reciever also. As mentioned above, if a theif wants it they will damn sure get it. I figure why make it easy for the SCUMBAGS. I also have a locking gas cap on my truck. I was out boating once and came back into the launch, got my truck, backed down the ramp, struck stalled out. I tried starting it and nothing, happened to glance at my fuel gauge and voilas, some SCUMBAG siphoned and stole all my gas while I was out enjoying the day on the water! Theives suck >:(

You are pretty much a sittin' duck because if someone sees you leave all loaded up with gear and coolers etc. they know your not coming back for a while.

If I were a thief looking to steal a trailer (or write a book about how I would do it) what's to stop me from unbolting the whole ball and just screwing your trailer on to my receiver? I'm thinking about getting a lock and long cable to thread through a couple of wheels. At least show 'em I'm serious.

No question if some body REELY wants it, they're gonna get it ... but just slowin' 'em down goes a long way ... as said above, so many others do nothing for security and those theivs can get away with QUICKLY...I have a barrel lock thru the tongue that doesn't allow room for bolt cutters (hacksaw would, but that's not QUICK OR SILENT ... I have run a loggin' chain thru wheels and inside frame ... and I like MJ's idea of backin' in too tight for 'em to get to ... but the main thing that will keep someone fron runnin' off w/mine is it's old and ugly ;) ... but it'll be there when I get back ... ;) ... I hope ::) ...
