anti-theft steering wheel lock

A steering wheel lock is necessary for those who live in or near a big city. The Club that I have been using does not fit the TL, even though it is supposed to fit ALL cars. I think the center hub of TL's steering wheel is a bit too high, such that when The Club is applied, it presses against the hub and causes the horn to go off.

What brand or type of anti-theft steering wheel lock do you use and what would you recommend?? Thanks in advance for your response.

I've used this
http://www.autobarn.net/thewrap1.html
and I've used the Masterlock one that covers half of the steering wheel (it seems to be discontinued).
I think that the Masterlock one offers more security, because i was able to remove the Wrap one myself without a key. But don't think for a second that any of these locks will delay a professional thief for more than a minute. I stopped using them, since they are pretty much useless. Your best bet would be to invest in a good alarm system.

Yeah, me too.
I live in Gotham just like the original poster and I use the standard "Club" all the time.

A more fullproof method. I remember somebody mentioning pulling a particular fuse (ignition? master?) that prevented the car from starting. There is no way around that unless they carry this particular tl fuse with them and know what you did
