    They sell king pin locks at the truck stop.

    Another thing to do is take the breakaway cable from it.

    But, truly, you should secure it, because you are responsible for the damages.

    That works till the battery goes dead.......

    The steel locks are the best.

    In all reality, if they want it, they're gonna get it. Locks just keep out the honest and the stupid.

    True, but I would figure it would not be dropped for a long period.

    Very well could.

    I guess the best thing to do is disconnect the fuse for the legs, and then the battery. Then remove the brakes.

    They hook up the plug to the truck, it activates the brakes. Without the fuse, the legs will not raise.
