Expert Reply:
To prevent the theft of your B&W Hitch # BWRVK3775 you can use some some padlocks like the # ML140DLH to lock the handles for the pucks and prevent anyone from being able to pull the base out of your truck. Then you can close the jaws using the handle and lock it in place with another padlock and then run a cable lock like the # e98891 through the jaws and into the legs of hitch to prevent anyone from separating them and stealing the head.
