these serve as deterrents ... if i was thief and i saw 2 cars ... which one am I going to break into? hmm ... no brainer (non fluoridated).
The Club for anti-theft car -- when key doesn't work, what then?

I doubt it wac. I'd have to see a study done. I know a lot of thieves get pissed off at such things, and would take the one with the lock out of spite.
I have a different approach. I don't drive a vehicle that is highly valuable, and I don't have a high dollar stereo. Furthermore, I rarely even lock my doors. . I have yet to have anything stolen. I have friends who have been broken into three and four times, and inevitably they have some kind of late model import, usually Honda or Toyata, and they have a very expensive stereo. They also always lock their doors. Go figure.

Use the club thingy but dont lock it....maybe just seeing it on the wheel will deter many thieves..............oomps

Great suggestion, Oompa. I think that's what we'll do.
I was thinking of buying a set of bolt cutters just in case. Ha! $267 for a 3/8 capacity model for hardened steel. A hack saw can easily cut through the steering wheel to get the Club off but I don't want to even think about replacement costs on that item, plus re-installation.
I'm just gonna get over my paranoia, use it but don't lock The Club, and lock the car with no valuables showing. The radio is okay but not one I'd risk breaking in for.

But, if you left the bolt-cutters in the car, then all somebody has to do is to break a window in order to neutralize your Club.
BTW, there used to be a joke that disgraced skater Tonya Harding should have become their spokesperson - she and her dim-witted bodyguard could be pictured standing in the ice rink saying - "having trouble with a skating competitor? Just use the club!"
Then they cut to a crying Nancy Kerrigan, who whines "Why me - Why me?"
