It doesn`t help with a hammer/rock thru the window trick....
No matter what you do if a thief wants your vehicle it`s gone even with the Club/alarm/ect, the safest way is to drive beaters left unlocked without even a radio.

The clubs don't stop them. The steering wheels today are made of cast aluminum. Soft metal to cut through reall quick. Slide the club out through the cut and away they go driving with an intact wheel sorta. It not damaged enough to not drive away with.

true enough, but as most crimes are of opportunity, a little deterrand may work sometimes, but if someone really wants in...you're right, not much will stop them

Best not to make it too easy, luckily I`m in a fairly safe area, so far no problems.
It`s Saskatoon that could be a minor problem when I`m parked there.

Ok I never did get this, what does the club do anyways?

Your 100 percent right Morris, if someone wants to steal something, they will get it, no matter how much you protect it.

i think it just locks the steering wheel from making anymore than a 1/8th-1/4 turn, making the vehicle impossible to drive. there are also ones that clamp to your gas pedal and steering wheel so the go pad can't be pushed.

yes, but something even smaller and easy to conceal. a cordless dremel too with a cut-off wheel. very effective and quiet, and it'll fit in the pocket of your jeans. sad eh??
