Hi Jerry!
We all know there are people out there with sticky fingers, and some that are just mean for no reason, so locking up your stuff is always a good idea!
I recommend grabbing the Roadmaster Lock Set - Hitch Lock and 2 Padlocks # RM-304. These will be keyed alike and provides a lock to keep the tow bar in your hitch, and two locks to keep the tow bar attached to your base plate. It's everything you could ever want.
I saw you recently got all the parts needed for flat towing a Ford Escape Hybrid. Are you gearing up for a trip? If so, where are you headed?
