unbreakable autolock--thoughts or opinions?

i searched a few threads regarding the usuage of steering wheel clubs or brake locks and it seems ppl either use them as a theft deterrant, a handy weapon, or think they're useless and if someone wants your car hard enough they'll get it.

i guess i'm thinking of getting one just as a deterrent. anyone have the unbreakable autolock brake lock? any opinions about it? or would you recommend a different brand or model?

here's the one in question (left side): http://www.autolock.com/Unbreakable_Auto_BL.htm

and no, i will not be putting that nasty steering wheel cover in my car

I'm of the "they're useless and if someone wants your car hard enough they'll get it." opinion on this one.

the imobilizer should be enough to prevent anyone from stealing your car outright without a full fledge swap of the ECU

The electronic throttle means thieves need to spend more for an aftermarket ECU that supports it. However, nothing's stopping them from flatbedding the car away.

Get it. It's all about layers when it comes to security. The more the better, anything that slows them down helps.

I wish that was true, there are other ways of getting around the imobilizer.

I use the auto lock on my car so does my friend. He has a Honda civic..umm well did..he traded it in for a TSX after seeing mine haha. Anyway he parked his Civic in Chinatown and they broke in and but didn't see the autolock. They got so pissed that they took a hammer and pounded all these dents into his hood. Honestly, it is just a deterrent. If they want it they will find a way to get

why am i not surprised? i can totally see that happening in chinatown.

i get a little nervous when i park in flushing b/c i feel like the probability of someone doing something to my car increases since there are ricers there. but i hope they'd hit the civics first.

i may just end up getting one and keeping it in the car.
