Anything you can get a bolt cutter on is toast in seconds This is the one you can not.

However one possibility is to use a GPS tracker hidden and powered by the trailer battery, The phone home when moved...

Looking at these guys, their monitoring is only $15 a month, and the unit has a 3 month battery life.

DirtyD1833, Howdy;

:applause: :applause: :applause: !!!

Good to see a 'kid' doin' "stuff" instead of nose down into a "devise".
Later in his life someone will nug another and say "he knows stuff". and
that will be a good thing.

It's hard to steal a trailer with no wheels thats sitting on jack stands. Not as pleasant to the eyes as far as my neighbors are concerned but I could care less. I have that same lock over the ball of mine, with a big enough breaker bar that thing will break instantly since the yellow part of it is pretty much pot metal.

I gotta get me one of those helpers. But yes, like Hank said, "Later in his life someone will nug another and say "he knows stuff". and that will be a good thing." You're doin' it right. ... ;) ...
Thanks for being a good parent, we need more of that.

Here is what I use on my tire and axle: Pewag security chain and 60mm shackel guard pad lock. You need the larger triangle holes in your tire rim though.

Here is a YouTube on both of these.

Chain can be bought here: http://www.westechrigging.com/pewag-sec ... n-716.html The lock is available at many big box stores.

It is a seriously heavy chain. Cable, no matter how thick, can be cut with a pair of bolt cutters or even dike cutters. A strand or two at a time will do it fairly quickly.
