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

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~!  thumbup.gif bought the one that 'as seen on tv' one...  tongue.gif
who would dumb enough to cut the clutch or brake pedal... how to replace? rclxub.gif

They don't need to cut. All they have to do is bend the pedal lock to the sides and it actually pops right out of the clutch. ONce it is loose, the clutch can freely move even while the device is attached. Go online and you'd find plenty of ways to disable the 'as seen on tv' pedal lock.

I lock the steering if the car is out of my view for 10 mins.

Also, when you lock your steering, you should have the lock at the part where the legs are most narrow/tight on the steering wheel. That will force the thief to cut two points on the steering wheel instead of one.

bacically need lock for safetly although less than 10 minites, who know somebody can get yo car in less than 10 minites? if u lock, they need more times.
such as computer, sometimes firewall is not enough, we stil need antivirus, antiadware.

I'd just take another fuse and plug it back in. There are so many fuses together that unless you remove all the fuse, I'd just use the fuse next to the one that you just removed.
