I am with speesh on this one. there are guys lurking who make a job out of theft. when they see something out of the ordinary they just can't help thinking how that is a good target if left alone for a minute. I had a truck stolen 3 times, same truck, they used it to haul goods aftert breaking in to houses. the cop told me that thieves look for the easiest target so use a steering wheel lock, like a club, and a theft system with a flashing light and small sticker to show it has a system and wheel nut locks etc. do what you can to slow down the theft process and they will carry on to the next easiest target. it only makes sense if you look at it from the thieves point of view. just my opinion and you guys do whatever you want. hey, it's hotrodding right?

That is good advice, making it harder for thieves isn't much work and what the hey, it can eliminate a bunch of trouble for yourself.
