Default And I hate to say it...

...but that is exactly how they get away with it!

It is a bite! There are more brass monkeys walking around out there then you can imagine.

Hope the police don't catch them... but you do! And then after, give them to the police.

I'll keep an eye out here in the NE, not many PQs at all around here, it'll stick out like a sore thumb.

There are plenty of theifs with the balls big enough to do that. Think about it, Back up to the traile takes second (especially if you have a back up camera) no need for anyone to help line you up. Get out crank the handle and your gone. Probably took less than 30 seconds. I know I can hook my trailer up in 30 seconds or less and I am not in a hurry.....

Wouldn't a good lock on the trailer tongue latch slow them down a bit?

not trying to give anyone ideas but...anyone can tow a trailer without the ball, simply shorten up the safety chains and voila you are on your way. are you going to tow 1,000 miles like this? no, but it gets a theif to a safe place.

I would look at this as opportunity to upgrade. Collect the insurance money and step up.
