The Thatcham approved steering wheel 'Disc-lock' certainly will slow
them down a lot, and is pretty well protected against an angle grinder.
Coupled with an alarm with pager it will keep away most thieves.


Except the ones with a low loader and a crane.


Exactly, anything can be stolen, thieves in Russia stole a bridge a few
weeks ago.Â* But in general thieves are deterred by anything that slows
them down, makes a noise or attracts attention in any other way.



If you have ever had the misfortune to watch 'overhaulin' you will have
been struck by how easy it is and how little attention is paid to people
in hi vis loading a stolen vehicle onto a tow truck.


Everyone assumes its official or the owner ordered it
