"The Club" and Other Security Devices For Accord's ?
Hello:
Just got a new 2004 Accord. Surprised to see that my old "The Club" steering wheel locking device I used on my previous car ('95 Mecury Sable) no longet fits the Accord's steering wheel. Can "force' it a bit, but it's really a poor match. a. Are there specific Club models out now for the Accord, etc., for this size / type of steering wheel ? b. Are there now other alternatives and brands to provide just a "bit more" security like the very visible Club (maybe) actually did ? c. Have most folks migrated away from bothering with, and using, the Club anymore ? What's popular these days other than the fairly expensive electrical systems ? Thanks, Bob |

Those things are nto that hard to remove. The only decent steering wheel one is one called a "disclock" - its a full wheel encosing device. The other physical thing I've heard good things aout is called something like a "brake-lock". you basically hook it under your brake pedal, and lock it against the floor, stopping the brake from being pressed. In some cars, this wll mean you can't start the engine, or take it from park. The only other thing I've cosidered using is called (or was, when I looked at it) "the blocker" and its basically a cap that fits over the end of the exhaust, and is locked in place with a key. Its not wonderfully convenient for everyday use, but if you have 'concealed pipes' or leave the car standing for a day or two ata time, it might be worth considering (since the engine won't fire, if the exhaust is blocked, and the fumes are trapped in the cylinder) These are just some options, Hope they help > > What's popular these days other than the fairly expensive electrical > systems ? > > Thanks, > Bob > |

Re: "The Club" and Other Security Devices For Accord's ?
A couple of years ago my father used various "the club"s on his car to keep
ME from driving it while he was away. I always was able to remove them within seconds, by bending them, then replacing them before he returned. Stay away from bendable clubs!

I use a 'club' made by Kryptonite (the bicycle lock people). One end hooks around the brake or clutch pedal, the other end locks onto the steering wheel. It is heavy, adjustable, and supposedly freeze-proof (since thieves have been breaking "The Club" by spraying it with liquid nitrogen). It also uses a keyless lock to prevent lock-picking. |

Re: "The Club" and Other Security Devices For Accord's ?
I'd heard that theives simply cut out a section of the steering wheel
to release the Club. Is that true (or an urban myth)? On Mon, 29 Dec 2003 18:58:14 -0600, "mrdancer" <mrdancer@hotmail.dotcom> wrote: >I use a 'club' made by Kryptonite (the bicycle lock people).
