Agree 100%. It's all about prevention and deterring, but if thy want it, they can get it.
Reminds me:
I was fishing remotely in Alaska with friends. It was prime bear country/season and the salmon run was intense, bears everywhere (we were fishing for rainbow trout eating the salmon eggs).
Everyone had huge guns they couldn't carry while fishing, and I had a 9mm pistol. They were laughing and making fun of how the bullet would just bounce off the bear.
The laughter stopped when I told them "oh you think my gun is for the bear, well if the bear starts chasing us, all I need to do is shoot one of you poor bastards in the leg, and the slowest one will get caught, and that won't be me!!
It's relative, if there are many choices to choose from, hopefully the thief will go elsewhere to an easier target if they see the Brahma and a good heavy hitch lock.
Box, I wish you had that video. I tried every way (not moving the trailer) and could not get the arms to swing with the deflated tire.
It's not worth it to me at this point to deflate tire again and try. As you say if they have the time they will get it.
