In an ideal world, people wouldn’t steal trailers. But these people are out there. From crimes of opportunity to professional theft rings, there are very good reasons you should put a hitch lock on a trailer. The type of lock, its resistance to breakage and its appearance are all factors to consider.  Many trailer owners go for a basic, inexpensive model, operating on the theory that a thief will look for the easiest target and find one without a lock. But some of those owners have learned the hard way that a few seconds and a crowbar were all a thief needed to take their trailers.

Each of the ones we’ve reviewed here has its pros and cons.
