Wanted - crooklock for daughter's car

Anybody got a cheap 2nd hand crook lock for sale to hopefully prevent further attempts at stealing daughter's car?

Not worth the money, very easy to remove, the hardest to get off but big and bulky (and expensive) are the ones that wrap round the steering wheel, but they can be removed in a few mins

Agree with you K.S.H. But------for a "P" reg car, if a decent alarm was fitted, it would be more than the cost of the car

Old Corsas are dead easy to break into and easy to get to the ignition wires, My daughters car was taken as an alternative to walking late at night. If an additional visible theft deterrent was showing through the window, I am confident that the average opportunist would carry on walking especially as the car is parked outside our house and in a fairly busy and well lit street.

A strong chain through the steering wheel to a loop bolted to the chassis is likely to be a lot better than
some of the cheap crooklock style rubbish you can get in the shops.

Or take the radio out, leave the wires all over the dash, chuck a load of rubbish in it & make it look like its not worth messing with, works on my car
