    Ensure that you have the key handy to avoid being stuck or having to pay for roadside assistance.

    These stopped being used in the 90s because thieves just cut through the steering wheel with a hacksaw.

    The guy seemed to struggle with the device. Is it that much of a hassle? (I KNOW it's better than the car getting stolen.)

    Seriously, this is supposed to prevent car theft? They don't even work now. People have been buying these for years without much success.
    Quote "The unfortunate truth is that steering wheel locks, like The Club, can be defeated quite easily. There have been many cases where professional thieves have stolen cars equipped with steering wheel locks."
    They may be kids stealing the cars, but unfortunately, they'll figure this out too.
