Tongue Lock Advice Needed

I built this one with what I had laying around. I did the best I could to make it hard to get bolt cutters to the padlock shank.

A thief attempted to get mine a year or so ago. Padlock was cut off and the Master coupler lock was almost sprung open. After looking at other expensive options, decided to design/make my own. Also, have some other security devices involved, including 12 ga. So far, all is well.

I dont suppose you got more info about that one do you? I like it! Yall are making me paranoid now lol

I believe this is where I got my original idea:

I fabricated mine out of 3/16" plate. The safety chains are locked inside of it, and the puck lock is steel surrounded by 3/16" wall tubing. There is no place to pry, and it would take a lot of cutting with a sabre saw. A set of torches would do the trick up to a point where I might hit your oxygen bottle with a 30:06 slug. :D

You could always add one of these to trailer tire

As already stated, the advent of battery operated tools would render either of these "measures" inoperable in <60 seconds each...

Insure your junk and hope it doesn't happen to you!
