Knew someone who deliberately left it out because they thought it would help mitigate someone nudging into their backend.

To their credit, it actually worked once, someone got a hitch sized hole in their front bumper for a low speed collision.

On the other hand, this person also kept banging their own shin on their tow hitch... But they thought it was worth it anyway...

    I got a hitch sized hole in my bumper because some asshole backed into my parked car and drove off.

    To this person's credit, they always seemed to take backing up seriously and slowly and kept quite a distance from everyone.. also very carefully parked as straight as possible, and never over any of the lines. Still since they only tow about once a week, it's kind of silly to have that hitch in all the time.

    Unlike another colleague who doesn't have a tow hitch, but always pushes his luck and has on occasion given a nudge to a parked car with his pickup, and never parks straight and usually parks over the middle lines...
