The Club should be just fine.

If they want the car, they're going to get it. Even in your own driveway.
Now that you have a healthy dose of paranoia, here's some help:

I have an '85 Corolla GT-S. People love to steal them. After it was stolen
the first time, I installed an audible alarm, a club and an ignition kill
switch. As an added bonus, the alarm I installed has a pager that works up
to 1/3 mile, so if the alarm goes off, I get a beep on a pager.

I also installed and aircraft type cable that serves to lock the hood in
place. It's a PITA, but they can't pry the hood open and disconnect the
battery or take any parts.

I also installed small roller switches in the door, so if they walk past
and lift the door handle to see if the door is unlocked, it also sets the
alarm off.

I also installed an ultrasonic/pressure alarm that senses glass breakage.
If the pressure in the car changes due to glass breaking, it sets the
alarm off.

Paranoid? Yeah...they got the car once, and even after the main alarm was
installed they got in and stole my new radio. But they couldn't get the
car thanks to the club and the ignition kill.

Worst case scenario: they come with a flatbed and haul your car away!

Hope that cheers you up a bit!   ;)

A person who sells lots of vehicles from his home said he uses
steering wheel locks.

In Nogales, AZ, which is next to Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, fleet owners
use ignition or starter disablers.  A starter disabler is the safer of
the two because if something goes wrong with an ignition disabler
while you're driving, the car can stall.

In the mean time, consider pulling the starter circuit fuse when you
park.

Others have mentioned the "Club" theft deterrent. This device is really
easy for most thieves to get around. It takes about five seconds. They
clip or saw the steering wheel rim in one spot with bolt cutters or a
battery saw, spread the steering rim, and slide the "Club" off. Really
fast for them, and that is exactly what they like; speed. I've seen this
done to cars many times over.

Remember that this is a twenty year old car and even the parts to a chop
shop look not too attractive.

I would suggest a simple under hood battery cable disconnect (some I've
seen are keyed). Cheap, effective, and most important, takes the
intruder time to get around.

I know that there are many more methods to disable a car, but you just
need a cheap and simple (easy for you to activate and deactivate)
solution that takes thieves time to figure it out and saves you aggravation.

Good Luck!

This is a 20 year old car!  Are you sure you want to spend a bunch of
money just to slow down a car thief?  If you are that concerned or if
you live in a neighborhood where a 20 year old car is desirable, buy
full coverage insurance on the car and be done with it.  If the car is
stolen, replace it with one that isn't such a car thief magnet.

It was heavily stolen , many years ago, now they are all rusted out
and have 300000000 miles on them, whats it worth, 800, its not a real
target anymore, think, its about 20 years old and needs everything.

Put dents in the hood, doors, bumpers, and trunk lid - it won't be so
attractive to thieves for parts.

Audible alarms are generally not very effective, especially in urban areas
where blaring alarms are commonplace.

A starter disabler can be effective, but they also tend to cause no-start
conditions.  The best bet is to park the car in well lit areas.

I have the same model and I just thought they were to old to steal
here they are all rusted from salt, maybe im wrong, a lock is made
that goes over the brake pedal and over the center hub of your
steering wheel which is better than the club, Im sure there is a low
amp wire you could tap to put in a hidden switch, there is a device
that goes over the ignition key and locks around the steering collumn,
that might be good.

Can you park it in your home garage?

Or is this for when you park it at work, going shopping, ???
