Take the wheels/tires off your trailer and put it on blocks. Like other things mentioned here, it's "only a deterrent" but it sure would be hard for your average thief to drag the rig off quickly.

If you are using R compound tires they are junk if you let them freeze just once.

So must all R-comp tires be stored in heated garages or houses during NE winters? Including Nitto NT-01?

Thx for the reference. So they should be fine in a non-heated attached garage (with a heated bedroom above) then. I'm sure it doesn't get under 15F there. And even if it does, the instructions say just not to move them when that cold or colder. As long as they stay put and off the car until it gets warm again, it could get even colder without affecting them, no?
