I have owned Clubs for around thirty years. In that time, I have NEVER had any protected vehicle stolen (knock on wood).  While thieves who want your vehicle, and are smart enough to find ways to defeat this unit, are certainly out there, I imagine my vehicles have never been high on their hit list, even though they were new when I bought them.  Still, all but the most professional and skilled car/truck thieves will, most likely, lose interest in boosting your ride as soon as they see this unit on your steering wheel. Add in that most new steering wheels now are wired to the point that cutting them ruins a lot of the technology needed to operate the vehicles' cooler features, and you have a fairly good chance of getting a pass from car thieves, when you use this unit.  This new Club also has a key system that is very unique.  I doubt it can be easily picked.  RECOMMENDED.
