[VAC] Re: Hensley Arrow Hitch

Don:
I spent a little time worrying about that and I think you can make it a 
little difficult, but not much... I would use a lock to keep the ball 
receiver down and replace the quick release pins with cotter keys...I do 
remember an email where a strut suddenly turned up missing...mine is in a 
storage lot right now and gets a lot of attention from visitors...( maybe 
if I paint it black, it won't stand out so much..I was told at the Hensley 
gathering that the original hitches were black)

I have been advised to record the serial number and not rely on the label 
on the hitch... ( which would be gone if the hitch was stolen...)  I think 
you could make a claim on your insurance if it was stolen, but I don't want 
to find out that mine is not covered for some reason... I think I will talk 
to the insurance agent....would a hood or a trunk be covered if someone 
stripped it off the truck???  Maybe a motorcycle locking cable would go 
around the head and lock behind the frame during storage???  I really don't 
want to take it off as part of winterizing....

Have fun with your hitch....
