    There are several gps trackers out there so require wiring to a battery some have internal batteries.

    Look up homesteadanomics on YouTube. He built a pretty good coupler lock from a store bought lock that is round and uses a dead bolt type lock.

    What got me started is a guys trailer was stolen in Memphis and he was on the news. He had 3 different locks on the trailer and the guys got them all off/cut in less than a minute and gone! He had security cameras and got it on film. So I Googled the lock I use and found reviews indicting low stars and watch the video on YouTube. Unbelievable to me they can sell a product so worthless with the advertising saying "Advance locking mechanism resists picking and prying". What a joke.
    i prefer boobee traps with high explosives. makes a miss but your boats still there and the thieves don't steal anymore.

    Check out cobra links motorcycle locks. Also go to trailer house supply store. Get one of the screw in tie down anchors. Put in in the ground under rear of trailer and lock trailer back there along with young lock.
