I always padlock open (unless I have a lock that blocks the underside of the receiver...preferred!). The reason is that leaves the thief no way to secure the trailer on the ball. If you padlock the lock closed, all it takes is a 7/8" socket wrench to loosen the receiver nut, put the trailer on the hitch, then tighten the nut back up!
