These type of anti- theft items only work on the small time thief. I use a
short piece of chain wrapped around the steering wheel and brake pedal on my
M211 2 1/2 ton truck.
My wife's Monte-Carlo SS was stolen a year ago with a roll back truck. It
sat in a parking lot for less than 12 hours.The car was locked and had the
wheels turned to the side, so if some one wants it they will get it !!!
