If they really want to steal it they will. They will tow the car away.

Off subject somewhat-I haven't even bothered to put an alarm on mine at least yet anyway. Never stopped anyone from breaking into my passed cars.

and I personally think low jack is bull shit

i to this day do not like airbags. if anyone has ever self detonated an airbag before you know why. we detonate any airbags that have to be shipped out for defects etc. and they sound like a m-80 when they explode. we had a few shoot a good 20 ft in the air basically im just saying it makes you think a little bit when your sitting in front of the steering wheel.
im not going to argue with government safety standards, but seatbelts are good enough for me...

low jack IS bullshit... my friend used to install them when he first moved to florida. very easy to disable, anyone with half a brain can do it. and like said above if someone wants the car they will take it. for every system designed to prevent theft, there is someone smarter who knows how to defeat it, simple as that... and as far as the removable steering wheel goes, i know plenty of people who have simply used a large vise-grip to steer the car. believe me when i say its all been done before.

Case in point...A mechanic in Kansas got a Brand New Rousch Mustang. Thieves broke in one night to steal the mustang, but found that they couldnt get the heavy duty aluminum door open to get teh mustang out. So they just rammed the door over and over until they broke through. Mechanic found pieces of the body kit all over the shop when he came in the next day. I dont think it matters what you do. If a thief wants your car they will find away.
