trailer stealin.... or thuggery at work

had a really nice trailer stolen a while back and have since replaced it and bought another one...

My quest has been to find a good secure way to keep them in my yard...

detailed below is what I've come up so far... this is a prototype and will be improved...

CAR HAULER WHEEL LOCK

it might of interest to some of you... hope so

later
john

John, great info and I can use it! That is up to your usual standard of excellence, btw.

I always look forward to your projects; they're innovative but you document them well and even a functional idjit like me can follow your processes.

Great ideas! Make sure you disengage the wheel locks! I once chained my covered trailer through the wheel to a phone pole behind my house. Of course I forgot about it and had to buy a new wheel. At least I didn't pull the pole down and electrocute myself. I sure stopped fast.
