Guys, how do you secure your trailers at home and when camping?

I use a Trailer Cop.
It consists of a "ball" that fits into the tow hitch. It expands inside the hitch with an allen key. Once it is securely fitted, insert the lock into the ball. Nobody can hitch your trailer and tow it away.
Available at Safari Centre and most caravan shops.

Africa does not break a Patrol. A Patrol breaks Africa.

I think this is a pretty good way to secure your trailer. Nice one dude. The ball in the hitch will prevent others from stealing your ride.
