For legally registered vehicles with complete documentation, the probability of theft is very low, and recovery is not difficult. Even if the car is not recovered, insurance companies will provide compensation. Below is some information about car anti-theft devices (steering wheel locks): Introduction: A steering wheel lock is a vehicle security device used to lock the steering wheel, consisting of a lock rod, lock body, and lock handle. Principle: The lock rod and lock handle are welded with bent rods, and the right end of the lock body is threaded to connect with the lock handle. During use, the bent rods clamp onto the inner side of the steering wheel, aligning the lock handle with the seat, thereby preventing unauthorized operation of the steering wheel and deterring vehicle theft. Steering wheel locks are characterized by their simple structure, ease of use, safety, reliability, and strong anti-theft properties, making them an ideal security tool for vehicle protection.
