Grab-Steer Theft Deterrent

[HAP]

I know there are a few similar topics but, I want to make this an easy find if someone wants to use my idea.
I had this old bike lock laying around my shop that I never used and was looking for a simple way to secure the truck when we are on trips. I realize it’s not fool proof, but it is a visible deterrent. Many other ways to go from this concept.

That’s silly, but actually a simple and effective good idea.

I’m ok with silly, as long as the desired results are netted.

a drifter only needs that much wheel movement to drive off. not saying im gonna steal your truck, but i would probably get cops on my ass rather quickly for smoking tires around every turn

When you say a drifter, do you mean a la a Ken Block drifter (rip) or a homeless (g)drifter, or both? Good morning.

Target hardening. Any anti-theft device can be defeated, but the harder and more burdensome it is to do, the smaller the pool of thieves willing to steal under a given set of circumstances is.

Bicycle locks are very easy to defeat, if someone has the knowledge and readily available tools to do it - but not everyone does or has it on them.

It's easy to just cut the grab handle or the steering wheel, that's how 'the club' is commonly defeated, - but not everyone has a cutting tool on them.

No steering wheel lock will prevent a drag-and-tow steal - but not every theft involves a tow.

So, you're more likely to deter the more amateur and low end thieves, but won't slow down a prepared pro in the slightest.
