Tailgate Anti-theft Lock

So my new F-250 came with a anti-theft lock from the dealership. Basically it looks kinda similar to one of those flat trailer tongue locks that goes through the safety pin hole on the lever on top of the tongue of the trailer.


What do you guys think...will this at least slow thieves down and make them go for an easier tailgate or should I invest in the hose clamp fix on the opposite side?

I got one of those, It works for south texas. You can also switch your hardware around so the right side is on the left and the left is on the right you would need to hold your tail gate on while fastening the torx bit bolts to the box.
