Nah that's extra effort that shouldn't be required, especially for anyone with mobility issues. Leaving it in is just asking for it to be stolen anyway. Just put it on the ground right under. Not stolen, just moved out of the way, and they'll inevitably not check and leave it behind. Probably never even notice until they try to use it to tow something again.

    I get it, but what's the difference at that point? May as well just start collecting them. Once you get enough, sell em for scrap.

    Or you could just take the pin. On the odd chance one of these clowns might actually tow something, the towbar would come out when they pull away.

    The difference is effort. Just dropping it over the ground is the least effort to accomplish getting it out of the way to move by. And not going out of your way to put it someplace else. You aren't committing a crime in the process by stealing anything. And they're likely to not check and just leave it there anyway for a punishment later when they notice it missing.

    Taking the pin out means it's no longer secure, it could fall out on the highway, damaging an innocent vehicle following at a later date.
