Trailer Coupler Lock

Lets face it. If you really want the camper, why waste time playing around with the ball latch at all. Simply grabbing it by the chains will work just as well. There is no way to stop them from the tongue. even removing the tires wont work if they bring a set with them. See they have all the time they need to figure out how to steal, what we try to make unstealable in ten minutes. 

Problem is, it's not a level playing field. The crooks can get several thousand, to maybe as much as 40 or 50 thousand hawking a camper, depending what it is. Are you prepared to spend that much to protect it? Not if you have any common sense. I think the only system that might work, is something like the old lo-jack system, that continuously emits a gps signal so you can track it down. This will work of course until the fist few crooks get caught, and then they use a jamming device.

Well, I learned a long time ago that many thieves are not rational.  So given a choice of stealing a $60,000 camper or a $15,000 camper right next to it just as easily, there is no guarantee they'll go for the big bucks. Of course, they probably do have their reasons.  Anyway, my attitude is that there is probably no amount of security that will prevent a determined thief, and a little security that will slow them down or make them think twice is probably enough 80% of the time.  Paredo principle.  Same reason I don't buy lottery tickets.  A $200 lock might prevent the theft of my Pod.  If I spent $200 on lottery tickets I might win $650 million.  For now I'll keep my $200.
 
I thought of another scenario where I might go with the the Proven locks though.  If I left my camper unattended at a truck stop all day, especially day after day.

That's what I was kind of thinking, the bigger risk is someone breaking in and stealing anything that they think they can fence.  Of course, in areas where oxycodone and crystal meth cloud the thinking of the thieves, one would expect more irrational theft, but I've never heard of a huge problem with Pod thefts.  But then I should probably take the foam ear plugs out of my ears, but there's a lot of other stuff I also don't want to hear.

We do. It gives me peace of mind. It locks the chains up inside of it. Nothing is completely theft proof. I want to make any other target look easier to snatch.
