That will only stop the person looking to steal a car for a 'status symbol' joy ride. If you look at the lists of which cars are stolen the most, you will find that they tend to be popular cars that don't change much from year to year, ie the left front fender from the '94 model year will fit on the '90 model, etc. It seems that most cars are stolen for the parts. The 'Club' will stop a joyrider, but is a professional car thief, wants you car, they will just drag it onto the back of a flatbed towtruck, and work on the removal of the 'Club' in the privacy of their chopshop. Joe White I am not a car theif, The above is my opinion, based on things that I have read.
