🤔.........sawzall that center leg of the steering wheel and they're gone in 2 minutes, locks only keep the honest man out.
Best thing you can do is have a good Insurance policy........my 2 cents 🤷♂️
It's for deterrence, thieves are opportunists and tend to be cowards and lazy. Most would pass on the 2 mins of sawzall loud noise, and would skip to one less secure. No BS, my Dad was cop for 28 years, plus my many security issues and training in military. I should not need to keep the honest man out. You are totally correct in BEST thing is to have good insurance.

Agreed 👍
When I trailer outta town I usually run a 1/2" cable through all four wheels (individually) and sides of trailer. If they really want it they're going to have to work for it 😂😂
I used to think insurance was the magic fix, but where am I going to find a new Pioneer when mine disappears? And what about all of the parts I've installed?

Well, I didn't suggest you leave it out on the parking lot with the keys in it!!! (anything can be stolen) was my point. Better to have Insurance for such events then not and rely on pretty much anything else. I've known guys had their buggy stolen from right inside their garage at night, right next to their bedroom......... Life's a bítch!.

I have a heavy plastic coated cable with large eye that gets padlocked to my P 500 when on the truck. Other end is bolted to truck very challenging to get a wrench on without removing the combo drybox fuel tank.
When parked I take a quality padlock and just lock it in the rear brake (disk). I have a string on it that runs up to the steering wheel so I don’t forget to remove it. Also have some T100 chain I’ll run through frame and padlock to a solid object.
Older image but it does show cable and padlock… cable cut through with a zip cut is probably 10 seconds, but may deter..

This is an audible alarm. I practice the mentioned items above and while parked mine is always armed with the viper.

As in "Detroit Rock City" and Mr Robert Clark Seger's home?
Regular-sized padlock, or like... extra long hasp style ? Got a pic of that setup?

Hallic,
I use a standard Masterlock padlock, there are specific disc brake locks for motorcycles that may fit as well. Hasp has to be correct diameter (and radius) to fit through a vent hole in the disc and back into the lock. Apologies no images.
Lastly I bought some of those Apple Tracking pod units gonna throw one on in a secure hidden location just for fun when I get it outta storage.
Cheers

Just wrap this around your steering wheel, it has a feature to stop Sawzalls and other nefarious individuals.

Mine is protected by the Smith&Wesson protection system. Responsible for stopping thousands of would-be thieves since 1852

So a good quality bolt cutters can open up those locks in 5 seconds. I know as for my work my backup key is a set of bolt cutters. I maintain a system with cabinets of equipment outside and only get visited once every few years and a lot of the time the locks are froze up, so cut and install a new one.
For sure will keep the honest honest but if they are there to steal your ride, they will have it.
