hmmm.. where do you get the Autolocks? Are they compact so you can store them away like the Club, which is useless sometimes.

club is useless, all the thief needs to do is cut the steering wheel with a saw. Autolock is about the same size as the club. Got mine at... I think Pepboys... actually, my brother got it... they sell them at a lot of places, but they are pricey!

even though i use the autolock as well, and would choose it over the club anyday... there is a device that can break both easily. i do remember someone posting the actual device on here a while back.

But look at the big picture... at least you still have a good chance of keeping your car.

I just bought the compustar alarm which pages you up to 1 1/4 mile if your alarm goes off. I would assume most of us arent usually over a mile away from our cars, so you can just go and check your car if your alarm goes off.

That's true, but sometimes you are behind concrete barriers, such as undergrouind parking at the mall. And you're shopping and the signal won't reach you. I like my Compustar.. it's great for winter time.. autostart.. woohoo

alarms, autolocks, clubs, etc... are all preventive measures in theft of your car. if someone wants your car badly.... it doesn't matter what you have, they'll get it regardless. there's always ways around anything. just one you think your one step ahead of the thieves, they one up you.
