Default MasterLock Airbag/Steering Wheel Lock ... think it will help at all?

<center><img src="http://store4.yimg.com/I/rodi_1689_23042493.jpg"></center><p>Just wondering if anyone has one of these and whether it's any use in deterring the NJ thiefs. It looks a tougher than the club, but I haven't seen one in person. It's either this or the autolock, because at some point I'm going to have to go back to Ikea!

Steering wheel is not a good spot to guard unless you take the whole damn thing off, easy to cut

Default Here's a good antitheft system

Wire your fuel pump to a hidden switch somewhere. Whenever you park and leave your car, turn the fuel pump off. The fuel in the lines won't be enough to start the car. I personally haven't done this, but a guy I know on a different forum did it to his eclipse.

Was that designed by Cadillac's Industrial Design Group? Design and Technology, heh.

Default Ikea visits are eminent on the weekend...

But I like to take the Santa-Fe instead... More room and don't have to worry if the baby spils the milk or candy...
Plus, after the horrible stories I have heard, even Rex-Plex should be dangerous... They do have a cop car there permanently now! I still worry though...
