Its a great idea to use a padlock on the latch handles when in the locked position to deter hitch theft, but what is your recommendation for locking the easy to removeinch coupler head to the base to prevent the coupler from being stolen while not towing.

Hi Larry; the only real way to lock the head to the base of the # BWRVK3305 is with a cable lock like the Master Lock Python Cable Lock # 8419DPF. You can wrap this around the head and base and then tighten it down since it is adjustable to keep them secure.
