what you reckon brent, give you peace of mind while at work? mine does, just wondering now if one should chain both wheels now at the ramp, or invest in a couple of lock nuts, as if they cant get the trailer, the *&^%$$#@@ will surely take the wheels.
cheers.

Hi all
I think you guys need to set up motion switches to ya trailers so if moved at all it sets of (a gun maybe) very load amplafied ak47 firing, that would make the bastards duck for cover.

here is a tip boys,

if you have a metal cable, pass it thru the spare tyre rim, thru your jockey wheel connectionthen pass the cable only thru the gap in the padlock on the couple mate before locking it - I can even get it thru one wheel on the trailer as well. This helps secure these "removeables" as well.

Just make sure the towbar tongue is locked to the towbar, they'd probably take that as well.

Cheers, Kerry.

Good point there Kerry.......I would not be surprised if they take the car and trailer......if they really want it they will stop at nothing to get it!!
You can only do so much to safe guard your property but at least its going to be a Damn sight harder to seperate car from trailer now.
Yes Joe maybe wheel lock nuts are the go also.
Cheers Brent
