Had to go with a different lock, a $55 protected shackle ABUS.

Same chain.

Thank you, my good man!

Sleep in it with a gun in your lap.

Never a bad decision if one finds oneself in such a predicament.

$55 protected shackle ABUS.

I specifically put the big yellow lock up top, so any would be thief can see it, and might go after some other truck that is less effort

Theoretically speaking, couldn't someone just cut a chunk out of your steering wheel with bolt cutters and slip the chain off? Fast, easy to fix.

I like the idea of the chain and lock. I'm just thinking about how I'd attack this if I wanted to steal my truck.

You will not out engineer a thief. You just want to make them go to the next one that is easier. Big yellow club sends a message they will have to work harder.

This tool will cut about any chain and lock. Why cut the steering wheel?

The down side for the thieves is that is is noisy and time consuming.

Idea is they Go find an easier target

bingo.

Cannot tell you how many people have wanted to make statements about my security products not being bulletproof yet I'd be willing to bet they still lock their truck despite all the windows.

That wasn't a statement about any methods being bulletproof. It's a simple observation. I use the taillight screw upgrades, the horn upgrade, hood latch and several others.

I've yet to find a security option that defeats a tow truck.
