It's junk anyhow.....

If that dont work, use an angle grinder and cut it off. Thats a no

Of course you'll have to buy a new one, but it dont have to be the
locking type unless you live in a real high crime area. The non-lock
type are about $5.

I bought an old used pickup truck a few months ago that has a trailer hitch
with a lock on it. I have the keys to the lock, but I can't get the lock to
open so I can remove the towbar/ball (or whatever that is called).

Remove the drawbar when not in use and you don't need the lock,
unless they are going to steel the whole trailer - in which case you
need to lock the coupler too.
