Hey Mark, no there aren't any locking pins you could use in place of the mounting bolts of the Curt Channel Mount Coupler part # C25329 that you referenced. Typically trailer thieves don't bring with them the exact size wrenches you'd need but what you could do is really torque the bolts down and even if someone had the right wrenches they wouldn't be able to get them loose.

Where do you actually find the recommended torque specs for the mounting bolts? I did not get instructions or can I find the torque specs on Curt’s website
