I once had an old Toyota Camry that I thought was worth so little that no one would steal it, but I was wrong. One morning I woke up in an empty parking lot. The car was found abandoned a few days later with minor damage all over (thanks, thieves!), and I had the joyous experience of paying the police a fee to get my own property back. I had it cleaned up and tuned, and then a few days later it was stolen for the second time.

Of course, I’m not the only one who’s experienced this; last year, over 1 million cars were stolen in the US, in part by the “Kia Boyz” – which means you should be concerned about your car getting stolen, even if it’s not exactly a prized possession or a classic. You can’t really make it impossible to steal your car; if a thief really, really wants to steal it, he probably can. But you can make your car as unstealable as possible by adding a few aftermarket items.

Depending on your age, you may not remember when a steering wheel lock called The Club was all the rage—it was everywhere, and everyone had one strapped to their handlebars. It’s a basic concept: similar to a bicycle lock, it’s a steel device that hooks onto your handlebars and extends outward, making it impossible to turn them (some variations also prevent you from using the brakes).

These days, steering/brake locks are not as common, and professional car thieves can bypass one fairly easily. But it’s a good start for two reasons: it’s a big, clear visual sign that your car is harder to steal than others, and it will deter casual “Kia Boyz” thieves who are just looking for an opportunistic joyride.
