presumably thieves who don't own the Allen key needed to remove the wheel despite the secure-appearing Club ...

When positioning the club, place the handle into the corner of the windshield near the pillar. Oh ya, a cordless sawzall will go through the steering wheel in no time at all.

Flash! There is no foolproof antitheft device. What any one person can do, another one can undo. The game is to make your stuff harder to get so the amateurs don't bother. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I've never been a fan of the club. I think a hidden kill switch is a stronger option

ROGER THAT!

Even experianced douchebags would take a long time to find a hidden kill switch.

And then you could have one of those brake-lock things. What are those called? Use them when you don't have a handbrake...?

*Real* thieves will get whatever they want...They're jerks.

This just my way to stop the lazy ones.
Did I tell you what will happen to them?

If you can keep the car on the road with 1/4 rotation of the wheel, sure. The thing goes right into your leg or into the windshield.

How about this ,hidden kill switch that takes the fuel pump out of the loop, any car with F.I. needs fuel pressure to run. I had one on a S-!0 I had,it even folled

A removable steering wheel would make the car awfully hard to drive away.

A lot of thefts these days are tow-aways though...almost impossible to stop that from happening.

Maybe I should take the coil wire with me?

Or take a wheel off.

Pretty sickening that I have to anything at all. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif)

I'va always found a switch to kill the fuel pump is great. Even if someone steals the car, how far will they get. When the car thief has the car stall two blocks away, he will:
a... troubleshoot it
b... run like hell

We found a friends stolen car like this once, 1/4 mile away from his house.

battery cut off, take the key with you, and I am thinking about one of those steering wheels that you can take with you.

You can just remove the fuel pump fuse. A lot easier to carry in your pocket too.... or throw it in the glove box.

Lose the club, forget a kill switch, just insure the darn thing through haggarty with a declared value of $20k and leave the keys in the driver's seat. no more worries.
