Are camaros easy to steal? Should we get clubs, after market security? What she we do? Nothing?

Almost impossible ... The easiest way is car jack or flatbed.

You can always pay for Onstar and if it gets stolen you can call and they will disable the car.

Any car can be stolen. It all depends on how determined the thief is.

I'd rely on that more. Anyone can break into a car if they really want to.

I have a force field that prevents theft.

Clubs? That was a joke right? It takes about 10 seconds to cut a club off and most of that time is a trip to the tool bag.

Steering wheel "clubs" are useless, can cut through the collapsible steering wheel in a couple of seconds and remove. The brake lock however (not the one that goes from the brake to steering wheel) is more difficult to defeat. Also even if they jimmy the steering wheel lock it can make it more difficult to put it in neutral to move /push/tow due to the brake interlock since you can't depress the brake pedal. It claims it can also be used on the clutch pedal.
As they say, it can make them move on to an easier target.

NOTE: there are some claims, and a youtube video, claiming they can easily be picked however.

Yeah its not about being completely steal proof its just about being more difficult to steal than the car next to you. They dont want to spend 10 minutes with the camaro when they can spend one minute with the 85 caprice next to it...I wouldnt try and steal a camaro too much time too risky and they may have onstar...

ROD_SS · 10-25-2012, 08:32 AM

Unless they're smart and rip the sharkfin antenna off. If they do that, Onstar can't do a thing.
