Shockingly easy isn't it. Shocked

There are still people on the forum who do not routinely remove the tow bar between uses. I would not dream of leaving it attached to the car; as soon as I disconnect the trailer off comes the tow bar.

If it is just the green bit missing then just buy a new lock. Not sure what hole you are referring to, hopefully not the hole behind the silver plate on the left as you look at it as that does not come with the green lock.

Are you sure some scrote has not been at it?

Does sound like some Censored hole has had a go at nicking it. The silver metal end cap is bolted into place & the lock end has 2 bolts holding it in!
