At 6:00 in that video he uses a sawzall in the direction of his patellar tendon directly below his knee cap. That could have ended really badly.

Norman-Spencer. I went with them because they had a policy that had total loss coverage. Not a big deal to throw a $50 dollar lock on there.

As far as protecting the trailer while it is attached to the truck/car: Nothing is indestructible, but this is a highly visible deterrent that would take a while to dismantle. If I had a nice trailer, I'd use this and a pin lock at the hitch.

I've used these for years and I guess they work pretty well...not sure if anybody ever tried to get them off.

I use a simple hardened lock thru the hitch latch. If they want the trailer, they will get it no matter what you use. How do you lock the ball bolt thru the hitch? Requires a seperate 'pin' lock  Separate lock, separate key. Use this and the ball mount lock picture above in first post. Arghhhhhhh.....be nice to have ONE KEY but, that's what I'm using God Bless This locks the ball to the draw bar?
