B&W Lock

Has anyone eve found a lock to stop someone from pulling the handle out on a B&W hitch in the wheel well? I have been looking but have not found anything. I might fab something up once I can get back going again. Something I can drop a padlock or locking receiver pin into to keep the handle from being pulled out.

I don't think you need one, I remember asking about the B&W companion when I first got it 5 years ago and how B&W requires you to "torque the hitch to 40 ftlbs down on the release pin" every time you install it, yet if using a goose ball it's not required? Someone posted a reply saying one time they forgot to engage the pin and drove a few thousand miles with a 5ver before realizing. If you are concerned you could remove the handle altogether and use a bicycle gear cable and handle in a secure remote location or even a starter solenoid to draw the pin open. Actually I like the solenoid idea and might try that, releasing the pin when the wheel well is muddy and dirty is a pain sometimes.
