The anti-theft device (200) is for use with a trailer hitch (100) regardless of whether the trailer hitch (100) is attached or unattached to a towing vehicle ball (102). The device (200) is selectively movable between an open position and a closed position. It includes two complementary and substantially coplanar base plates (202, 204), two mutually-facing rim members (220, 222) defining an inner slotted space (224) receiving the lateral flanged edge (120) of the trailer hitch (100) when the device (200) is in the closed position on the trailer hitch (100), and two anchoring members (240, 242). Each anchoring member (240, 242) is rigidly connected to and downwardly projecting from the corresponding plate (202, 204). The device (200) is very compact, effective, easy to use, and can be installed or removed in a few seconds. It provides a very convenient way of preventing the theft of a trailer.
