How does a Club prevent car theft?

Published in Car Security 1 min read

A "Club" (steering wheel lock) prevents car theft by making the steering wheel impossible to turn.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

The Club is a visible anti-theft device that locks onto a vehicle's steering wheel. When engaged, a long handle extends out from the locked device. This extended handle obstructs the steering wheel's rotation because it physically collides with other parts of the car's interior (such as the dashboard or center console) or with the driver's legs if an attempt is made to steer. The device itself is designed to be too large to be maneuvered around the steering wheel, making it very difficult, if not impossible, to remove without the key. This visual deterrent and physical impediment significantly discourages thieves, as it adds time, effort, and risk to their attempt.

Essentially, the Club serves as both a visual deterrent and a physical barrier, making it extremely difficult for a thief to steer the car and ultimately preventing them from driving it away.
