Pokyman 1st Gear January 11, 2011 Share January 11, 2011 Is it a good deterrent against car thieves? Thinking of driving into JB with my new car, so worried about car theft. Read stories about them able to bypass ur car electronic alarms, etc ... So is a wheel sterring lock good enough to prevent them from stealing or towing away ur car? ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vhtfhwlego Supercharged January 11, 2011 Share January 11, 2011 People wants to steal your car, they will have ways to break it. However if that yours is a common model, they will likely to walk away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_blade Turbocharged January 11, 2011 Share January 11, 2011 (edited) They don't steal all cars....only those in demand. If the car is in huge demand, they will steal no matter what. I feel it is sufficient to just practice common sense eg. avoid parking in less crowded places, leaving valuable things exposed, living cars to car wash/polish vendors while you go shopping, etc.....

Ckchong8 1st Gear January 11, 2011 Share January 11, 2011 steering lock to slow down them down from driving away but if towing what ever lock you have also gone. they lift your whole car up. But just bear in mind park where there is jaga not too quiet places. if you driving on highway ensure you dun drive slow but if you driving merz, BMW can't advise you much but better dun drive in. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Steering wheel lock won't prevent, but it will deter Get a pedal lock as well; I use a chain, twirl it ard the pedals, then lock it with a regular lock 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_blade Turbocharged January 11, 2011 Share January 11, 2011 Whatever safety device you use...don't be too excessive. I know someone kenna car-jacked while he was unlocking all the extra locks in the car....the guy just smashed his window and opened the door from inside. He was probably a sitting duck while he was unlocking and removing all the locks. His was m'sian registered wira. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retireinjb Neutral Newbie May 21, 2013 Share May 21, 2013 (edited) There's a new product called RASLOK in the market, I found it in Autobacs, it's a Singapore product, good quality, patented, seems to the most secure steering wheel anti-theft lock in the market. visit their website for more info: www.raslok.com Edited May 21, 2013 by Retireinjb 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic May 21, 2013 Share May 21, 2013 (edited) All stering locks are useless as the steering wheel is designed to be soft and easily cut to minimise impact to your head in the event of an accident. The metal rod inside the steering wheel can easily be cut. However the brake and clutch pedal is extremely strong metal designed not to break when you stamp hard on it during e brake. So the best lock is a foot brake lock. Edited May 21, 2013 by Jamesc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic May 21, 2013 Share May 21, 2013 I don't know if its true but I heard Vios and City are the most targeted cars in Jb. Followed by Msian cars. The least targeted are Kim chi cars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
