Trailer/RV shops have very nice little locks for both
the trailer tongue latch and the ball hitch itself. 
Case hardened and the design leaves little access for
cutting.  A determined pro can certainly do it but the
average mental pygmy crankhead will draw far too much
attention.

At motels I use a large cable that goes through the
boats, trailer, and then around a light pole.

I use a SportsRig trailer.

Pleasant waters, all.
