Answer 1

Buy a club at Wal Mart, it will cost about thirty dollars for a truck club and make sure you get the best one. If you have the time get a break lock at a auto parts store. This, Hopefully, will slow down a potential theft.

Answer 2

Santa Barbara has a low vehicle theft average compared to the national average,

To really feel safe about this problem though, I suggest getting Lojack installed. They have a 90% success rate with recovery of stolen vehicles.

I have it on my car and also the laptop version. The way it works in cars is they hide a very small transmitter under the hood. If the vehicle is stolen, it tells them the location and they tell the police. I don't worry a bit about my car.

Another useful item is the Club steering wheel lock. It will stop all but the professional car thief. You can get those at most auto parts stores and places like Wal-Mart. Most thieves just keep going when they see that on the steering wheel.
