Default Thefts from Trailer ... Locking Lug Nuts ???

Anyway, not too concise - sorry. Just thinking out loud
so any comments or suggestions welcome.


========================================

I have removed my spare tire carrier for everything but long haul
tows. It's just as easy for me to throw a spare tire in the back of
the truck and I don't have to worry about the carrier or tire going
missing at my storage yard.

I use 4 locks when I leave the trailer for storage: one with a
locking pin through the hitch release lever (which I also use
underway), a cylinder lock that goes into to the front of the hitch
socket, a padlock and stainless steel cable on each set of tires
locking them to the frame. It's possibly overkill but no losses so
far, and it only takes a few minutes to lock everything up.
