MECHANICAL security methods such as steering wheel locks are back in vogue, increasingly seen as one of the best ways to make your vehicle less attractive to would-be thieves in a digital age of keyless cars.
While car makers, tech boffins and thieves themselves keep up coming up with ever-more ingenious technological innovations, it remains true that a thief will probably think twice about stealing your car if it is fitted with a steering wheel lock, even if they do seem a bit old-fashioned. Car thieves will look for easy targets, and the increase in the time it takes to remove a steering wheel lock will mean they’re more likely to divert their attention elsewhere.
