A locking device for obstructing towing of an unattached trailer has a lock base and a single-armed curved interlock bracket. The lock base has a cylindrical leg. The single-armed interlock bracket has an grooved arm sliding along an aperture on the cylindrical leg and may be permanently attached to the lock base. Grooves on the arm allows a locking means to be engaged with the lock bracket at different height. When engaged, the locking means may restrict the interlock bracket from swirling. The open end of the interlock bracket provides flexibility to accommodate trailer couplers with different cap/rim sizes. The cylindrical leg may have a sealed bottom end and may function as a handle. The locking device may also feature a push-in locking mechanism to lock the interlock bracket in a position without using a key.
