Tow Hitch Lock?
So I live in Nashville and the past few years we've seen a little snow and a lot of salt. The last hitch lock I had rusted shut and I could not get the key to unlock it. Took about and he and a bottle of anti seize. Anybody have a good brand recommendation that won't rust and seize up? My problem may be that I just leave my hitch on. I leave it on to try to prevent a little fender bender.

If you lube it up every once in awhile, It may not seize up on you...

I use a 5/8 grade 8 bolt with a "Nylock" nut, no lock but a thief would 2 3/4 in wrenches to remove it

Remove and store it like you are supposed to. As a guy that pumped gas as a young man I can tell you I still have scares from incidents with those damn things.
Nothing like going between vehicle in a parking lot and smashing your shins on a hitch that should have been removed.
In my province it is actually illegal to leave it in place when not in use.
