Question:
Is this Bolt Locking Pin the best Theft deterrent Pin you have? In other words how easy or hard would it be for a thief to break this Pin and steal my expensive hitch and whatever is connecting to it compared to other locking pins?

Expert Reply:
Locking hitch pins are a great way to add security to your hitch setup but if someone was really motivated and had the tools the pin could be cut. So this would stop the casual thief which is the most common. You could use a cable lock like the # e98891 which you'd route through the safety chain loops of your hitch and through your hitch accessory.
