I was going to the gym and stopped of at Homebase to get a padlock for a gym locker as someone at work had his regular locker ripped off and had his debit\credit cards fleeced. I parked at Homebase got the padlock and went back to the car. I always used a steering wheel lock. But i only had one key left and the fob bit had broken away so i used a bare key that i stored under the car floor mat in a receess. But i lost the key! So i ran back home, i had my gym kit on, how handy! Looked for the key at home then me and pop went to homebase to rip off the steering wheel lock. We bashed away at the lock for 30 mins then we started cutting the sheet metal. In 5 mins we cutted a portion of sheet metal of that let us take the steering wheel lock off.

 

This was supposed to be a high security lock. But i now know i can take them off in 5 mins with a high power cordless drill and sheet metal snips.

 

jesus scott!! just shows u i guess

 

best bet is get the one i have, disklock

 

there have been reviews where it withstud some1 with a drill bit for 30mins, you cant get it off

 

its a CAT 3 approved device :)

And while you were breaking into your car nobody challenged you :confused:

Nope no one challenged me or dad while we was bashing away. I went into Homebase for a claw hammer and told them i was nicking my own car. The lad on the checkouts said hey thats so cool, wish i could watch.

got a removeable steering wheel for the lotus, oh and a body embedded tracker

Yeah A Friend Had 2 Saw Off His Wheel Clamp Off His Caravan It Was Off In Seconds With A Hacksaw, !!

Thieves just cut the steering wheel with bolt cutters and slip it off that way -- even faster (less than 20 seconds).

It's ridiculus that no one questioned you. My mate had hurt his wrist so had it in a sling under his jumper. We went to the cinemas and he paid with his card. when they asked for his signature he motioned to his arm under his jumper and they said it's ok just use the left hand and make a mark. He also used his card to buy some popcorn and they didn't even ask for a signature they just said it's ok. ridiculus really.

 

Happy new year!

just shows how much the public care and DONT want to get involved :(
