I found this one in a quick search.

Really don't need much to lock or disable the hitch, just something to keep the jaws closed. On my stock trailer the lock pin on the coupler will pull up far enough if I wanted I could slip a large looped padlock thru it. But thats pretty easy to just use a pair of bolt cutters on and go.

Honestly, I wouldn't really worry about it. It'd be no mean feat to steal a trailer like that without someone noticing or being hard to spot.

True but if you seen a gooseneck sitting in a parking lot how would you know if the ones hooking up to it acctually are the owners?? I have to leave mine in trucks stops all the time, I used a master lock unit I got from a local trailer store.

And it doesn't take long to back under one and be gone before anyone knew what was happening.
