http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/04/hitchsafe.jpg (http://www.acquiremag.com/cars/car-accessories/hitchsafe.php)Some ideas seem so obvious, you wonder why you didn't think of it first. Others seem so off-the-wall ridiculous you're left laughing out loud. We can't quite make up our minds about this one, though.
The Hitchsafe is a small solid-steel lockbox that bolts on to any standard 2" trailer hitch. It has enough room inside to stash a set of keys, maybe some credit cards, cash, a priceless diamond... whatever you need, and it locks with a four-digit combination. The security gives it an obvious advantage over hiding a key in the wheel-well with a magnet, but then it does make for an obvious target, too. While we try to make up our minds on this one, we think we'll keep our keys in our pockets.

I guess it would stop someone putting an un-wanted tongue in your hitch while you were out shopping.

Without trying to knock innovation
Seems to me like it would be signalling to any potential thief "Oh look all my keys and valuables are in here"
As with the steering locks, with a bit of lateral thinking they could fairly easily get round it.
and on a few km of Aussie dirt roads those tumblers are gonna clog up with dust.

good concept not thought through

Yea but it would be a lot of fun to rig it with a paint bomb and wait for the theif to break into it:twisted::twisted:.
