I bought a boat and trailer last spring. Yesterday I was checking the tire

Don't bother with the lock or the shackle.

Cut the HASP ! ( whatever it is that the lock hung on. )

I'm always surprised that folks buy "titanium padlocks"
then hang them on a soft-iron hasp
that could be cut with a few strokes of a hacksaw.
