I'm thinking that a simple solution might be to undo the allen headed machine screws and remove the red sliders which would in turn prevent the other lever being operated.
Why not just lock the hitchlock or maybe chain the thing to the towbar with a padlock or one of those bike locks??
Here hopefully is a pic of the actual towbar. The red tabs (one on underside too) need to be pulled toward the ball and the other lever can be pressed to release the locking pin. There is no requirement to twist the bar - its just a straight in and out
Do you think they can remove it with the weight (around 35 kg. on the ball) from your trailer on it.
Did you tried it allready yourself if it can be pulled out ?
To be honest I've not tried to remove the bar with the trailer attached. I suspect it will be more difficult!
Like others have said if someone really wants it they'll find a way, so I'm just looking to deter the casual thief.
I think I'll invest in a strongbox type lock and use that in conjunction with a chain from the trailer to the bar mount.
