I use alarm only. Streing lock is not use to prevent car theft but to delay the time use to steal your car.

got steering lock in my car, only use it if i go out n leave my car for a long time

steering lock to whack people geh... it doesnt serve as a reliable car security device... as self-defence ok lah...

ya true true, its very handy in terms of chack ppl, especially the baseball type, bery comfortable to whack ppl with

Steering lock is a waste of money.
Do u know steering wheel is very soft? becoz its designed to give minimal impact if accident occurred.
Thiefs can just put the steering wheel and take out the steering lock within a minute.

waa... a lot of people doing that oso. as self defense.

steering lock is not secure enough. car thieves can cut the steering wheel where the lock is attached. after all, steering wheel can be replaced with new one.

that's why i use pedal lock~! bought the one that 'as seen on tv' one...
who would dumb enough to cut the clutch or brake pedal... how to replace?

Not all steering wheels are soft & flexible. The flexible ones are dangerous actually, they deform faster than the steering column upon impact.
Even OEM ones aren't flexible, they have a rigid core wrapped in polyurethane or leather. It takes time to cut through them.

Plus, its a discouraging point to thieves. They'd rather go for one without the lock than one with, just saves them the precious few seconds that could land them in the slammer

There's something called a pedal-set which is easily available at most half-cut/chop shops. Plus, the culprit can still drive if he cuts the pedal ends properly (albeit being a little troublesome).

EVEN if you have a lorry of FRUs your car can still be stolen.

WHat the lock does is buy time and make it less alluring for thieves.

If one dish is already served and the other you need to prepare everything which one will you choose ?

i use alarm & glass sensor only....not using steering lock since year ago....
mayb my car was old & dirty, till now was fine!!!! lol...

Steering lock delays the thief. Imagine if you have to cut off the steering lock, dewire the alarm, dewire the sensors, ... by that time, someone will get suspicious and alert the authorities or by that time you would already by alerted if you have those crazy alarm systems that sends you sms when your alarm system has been comprimised. By the time that sms gets to you, that bugger is still busy cutting of the steering wheel. No such thing as 100 percent safety just prevention, unless you put a bomb in your car whenever someone steals it, BOOM.

you mean by turning the steering or with steering lock?
i only turn steering with alarm

i turn the steering (lock), put steering lock, n alarm
