No problem. That sucks that happened.
This is best way to slow them down/stop them remove tire/tires. Another home made alarm setup is to use 12volt cheap'o alarm with a car hoodThe lock Brad posted is good. A padlock through the coupler latch will only slow a thief down for maybe 30 seconds. A ratchet wrench & socket can unbolt the coupler from the bottom, drop it on the ball & bolt it back up. The BEST way i ever saw was a neighbor of mine raced go karts, & didn't have room in the garage for the trailer. We lived out in the sticks, & his house was not visible from the road, nobody close enough to hear an alarm. He would jack up the trailer, remove the tires & set it down on blocks. Took him maybe 10 minutes total with an electric impact, off & back on when ready. Seemed extreme to me at the time, but a few minutes work is well worth the security, IMHO.
