Way to Lock 5x8 Utility Trailer

Question:

I have a 4x8 dump trailer that Ive always kept in my back yard behind a locked gate. I would like to move it to the front. I would like to lock it up so no one can steal it. How do I best lock it?

I prefer wheel locks over coupler locks for trailers as they are harder to defeat and offer a more visible lock from a distance. I really like the Wheel Club part # WI490.

As one of our customers put it, "The wheel club is very visible and says if you want this trailer you have to work for it."

It prevents the wheel from rolling as well as would make it very difficult to remove the wheel if you wanted to. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
