Aww fake some rust and paint it rusty muddy white. Don't look aluminum and nobody would be caught dead pulling the thing.
You know you guys are right, this happens more than you think. I never could understand why you would steal a Boat trailer just to cut it up and sell it as scrap metal... I see the aftermath about 2-3 times a summer...
Just not how I was raised... Now my wife thinks I go a little overboard on locking it up, but to be honest with all of you... If they want it They will take it... We had one in East TN that had been cut off and chopped up at the boat ramp... hey they left the wheels and axle....

Spare tire / wheels also a hot item. They took my truck spare from under vehicle one time. Now I have everything locked up with chain or cable just to keep the honest people honest.

They may knock off the cheap lock I got on my coupler, but good luck
to 'em if they try to unscrew the ball :D Drug it a few times coming
in/out of steep driveways and about 1/4" of threads are rolled over on
bottom of the stud :D Only way it's coming off is with hot wrench.
Years ago around here Silverados were such a hot commodity that folks
wouldn't lock their trailers to the ball... If it wasn't locked, most times
they'd just drop the trailer and steal your truck. Still out a truck, but
not as bad as having boat in water and no trailer!

A couple of years ago a guy had his trailer stolen. While he was away looking for another trailer they took his boat, apparently with his trailer.
Endangering the crappie way of life in two different centuries.
I've been lucky I guess. All I've had stolen is someone cut my trailer pigtail off at the hole in the tongue, took the adapter too.
