Here is a tool made for "doming"...it will make the type of indents that you are seeking but I am not sure what gauge metal it will handle.

I was rather worried about someone stealing my boss's trailer too after we hauled a machine down from northern Indiana earlier this week, then I thought, hey, why don't I just leave the shaper on the trailer and just tarp it good and unboom it?

Which is what we did. Although it won't deter a truly committed thief, it will give someone pause, between the risk of being spied with a loose load, and the thought of 3 tons of iron sliding loose around behind you.
