hi this is Jonathan Clark scooter and I'm here to do a really quick video showing you how to use one of those anti-theft clubs for your truck to keep your truck from being stolen I've had a lot of people ask what's the point of having a club on your steering wheel because that's not gonna keep someone from stealing your truck they can still drive off with it whatever it's really hard to do that with a club one you know here's a club there's two different types this particular one slides in a note when it's unlocked some of them will only slide one way now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna hook this into my steering wheel okay right now anyone could actually squeeze it take it right off without a key but if you lock it into place it won't squeeze any tighter so you can't get off the steering wheel some of the clubs there they're designed with the lock a little bit different so that you can always extend them because extending them as safe the only way you can compress them to take them off the steering we always to unlock them anyway it doesn't matter they both work the reason why one of these clubs works is because you can't steer it has nothing to do with the truck like you can still break the ignition Hotwire the truck basically get it running but the problem is you can't drive it anywhere very far with one of these clubs on and the reason why is because you can't turn the steering wheel now I've had people say well it doesn't matter because what happens if the if the club is actually locked into place like say this someone puts it on like this then you can still move the steering wheel well that's not exactly the case because with modern trucks to do a right angle turn which you need to do to go left or right on a city street you have to spin the the entire spinning with the steering wheel almost two whole revolutions which most people don't expect so anyway even if it's put on improperly like this they're still not going to be able steer very well unless they unless you park somewhere where they can drive it straight for a couple hundred miles anyway so these things work what I usually do a big part of the theft prevention on one of these clubs is actually the visual deterrent so I usually like to put it up like that somehow so a potential thief sees the club before they try to steal your truck they're gonna look through study all there's a club on here let's steal the truck beside this one that doesn't have a club so so visual deterrence is a big thing actual physical inability to steer the truck is another big thing and and so that's how it works the only thing that you can really do to your truck to make it even hurt or to steal is if you go in the fuse box there's there's several fuses that control the starter and so you could take one of those out every night so you know even if someone had a hacksaw and eventually cut through this Club which takes a little oil and then Hotwire the truck they're not going to be able to start the truck because there's no fuse there they're probably gonna be confused why it doesn't stir because nobody really thinks about taking out a fuse but anyway this is this is pretty much the number one most effective way and easy way to keep keep your truck from being stolen so that's how it works use it
