I wouldn't say useless. The point of any anti-theft measure, including basic locks is to make your property a less attractive target than other, similar, property located nearby. Thirty seconds of additional effort and the need to carry an additional tool does make your vehicle less attractive than the similar truck sitting nearby that does not have a club. It is also a visible deterrent, unlike some of the other things mentioned.Syntyr wrote:This.jason812 wrote:You mentioned Ford and towing a camper so can I assume a Superduty? If so, there are anti jimmy lock plates you can get as the factory locks can easily be used for a break in. I've often thought about getting some for my Excursion and always wonder the few times a year I go to one of the big cities, will it be in broken into. It has the PATS but I'm not sure how well it works.

These work as long as the crook isn't willing to break a window.
The hidden batter disconnect would work but I would interrupt the wire going to the starter so you don't have to reset the clock every time you use it. Also, if you have a tuner, you can get no start added to some of them, at least you could for the older ones (7.3 Powerstroke).
Those steering wheel clubs are useless. They can hacksaw through the steering wheel in 30 seconds and then just remove the club.
