A gear stick/Handbrake lock....



or a steering wheel lock?

Mine looks radio-active which might scare off a few car thiefs or fry the more daring ones

lol. Yeah i saw a program back and said it takes them like 30 secs to remove. They are buggers thiefs.

Yeah kerry i guess it all adds to prevention of a thief getting away with your car in a hurrey.

since gettin my car lowered i cant put my car down drive and i couldnt sleep at night

i priced an alarm and was talkin atleast £200 fitted....

priced a disklock and was £68 and i have since seen places with them cheaper. i feel safer knowin its on my car but at the end of the day if they want it and are proffesional they will take it. all u can do really is delay them in hope they will either be deterred or seen/heard before its too late

the one i have is a silver disklok. on the box it says its thatcham approved category 3 and has a 3 year guarantee

Yeah i'm spending £400 on a alarm being fitted monday. Yeah i'd feel safer with this because its going to slow the gits down. But i know a pro would be off with my car if he really wanted it.
