Like when I used to use The Club on the steering wheel of my car, I never actually locked it. If someone were motivated enough to smash a window or break open the door to get into a car a visible Club on the wheel, they would obviously be doing so knowing how to remove the club. But since it appeared to be just one more layer of hassle for a thief, it was simply deterrence.

I think good security for a bike involves making stealing it appear to be a loud, difficult and time consuming proposition.

Which is why they came out with a New York version of that Kryptonite motorcycle lock :laughing:
