Theft prevention

Hi y'all.  We've got a 16 ft Scamp.  It's been living on private land away from a neighborhood for 17 years.  It's being brought to our house next week.  We live in a neighborhood and it's going to be stored next to our garage. We're thinking of using a wheel clamp to prevent the Scamp from being hauled off by a thief.  Would love to hear from people who have used one, and which one, and if anyone using one of these clamps have had their trailer stolen anyway.  THANKS!

The nice thing about parking in the same place each time is that you can chain it down. Hardware stores sell a chain that can’t be cut with bolt cutters. If you do not have anything to chain it to, you can use a screw anchor. Mine however is chain welded to an old disk brake rotor and concrete dumped on that.

BRILLIANT!  The simplest

BRILLIANT!  The simplest answers just don't come to me.  I get worked up and make elaborate plans until I get real simple.  Thank you!
