Just to confirm that this lock fits the older metal- spoked steering wheel?

I suppose even when fitted the wheel can be removed by removing the pinch bolt.

I don't know about the UK, but here in Australia battery operated power tools are so common that a lot metal safety devices can be cut
with ease, silently, in minutes, if not seconds.

But that does make the vehicle harder to drive away!
As has been said many times, if someone really wants your Landrover, they'll have it. It's just a matter of discouraging or slowing them down

Professional thieves will not be put off by all these security devices.

I have  a friend who had a classic car stolen from behind some 6ft locked gates.  After puzzling for a bit he spoke to all his neighbours who remembered "a truck with a crane" lifting it over the gates.  It looked professional so they didnt think anything untoward was happening.

Our security devices are to stop the opportunist thief.  I use a stoplock and a handbrake lock, they can both be defeated but they take time and will make the opportunist think twice and hopefully move on.

The biggest problem in our village seems to be fuel theft, a number of cars and vans have had their plastic fuel tanks punctured and the fuel taken

There's a moral here I think?
