I think this is an oxymoron. Honest folks don't have to be kept honest, because, well, they're honest. I think simple locks keep opportunistic thieves looking for a better target ... or inherently dishonest people from
becoming opportunistic thieves.
Pry bars are much more conspicuous than a key. Yes, with a determined thief, I'd rather him use a key to open my trailer than tear off the panel with a crowbar. But, the same applies to my main RV door, and I don't leave that unlocked.
I don't disagree with you in principle. But, for $50, I think I'll go ahead and get locks that tell the casual thief, "No easy grab here, move on to my neighbors' trailers and steal their stuff. Thanks for stopping by."
