I can definitely relate
NickRivieraMD
bruh I remove my entire-ass stereo every time I go to work and take it with me.
ImpossibleAgenda
mirrorz
I still do this. Also unplug my ipod and pocket it too.
bingotown
I use a DiskLok on my favorite car when I park in questionable places.
StevenAlleyn
2002 but yeah
AdamGenesis
Nobody ever stole my stereo tho.
ImperatorNikolai
I parked near a car last week that had a Hordak sticker on it and a club on the wheel
robincaid
I remember most people who had the steering lock had a car no one would want to steal.
JacksCookieLifter
I have an old car and people have tried to steal it because they think it is easy pickings. They gouged a hole in my door lock.

FloatingOnACloudOfTitties
Omg, that’s great! I so remember that late 80’s early 90’s Ford Probe, LOL! What’s the sauce?
CyanideBreathMint
We had pullouts, they sucked.

Clubbing with my own music
vickyblr
Yup they still make clubs... old lab where I worked had a couple of cars stolen from the lot & management bought everyone one on response
vickyblr
They also hired more security.
kiyanis
Uncle used to put a huge metal shackle he made under the clutch pedal of his doorless farm truck. Kept us kids from taking joyrides :p
SometimesOthertimesAnytime
I had those when I got my car in the 90s.
gimme
I never actually locked my Club Lock because I always lost the key.
ciscoxing626
Any and all clubs can be removed in 90seconds by a battery powered angle grinder
bro02tc
My car didn't need the key to start it the locking pin in the ignition broke so I just go in and started it
smadge1
I see a dude who clubs his steering wheel every day at the train station
PoppinLochNessHopster
Guarantee you could pick those in 5 seconds with a wave rake
SqueezitTheClown
You misspelled paperclip
BrownestofCoats
This change and many others brought to you by access to abortion AKA the Donohue–Levitt hypothesis.
JoeMalmsteen
None of the cars my family had in the 90's had a detachable radio panel.
SilverNicktail
TBH I usually saw those on aftermarket radios, not manufacturer ones.
JoeMalmsteen
Oh definitely too poor for one of those
MrNohbdy
Oh, look. The poors are here
JoeMalmsteen
Can't afford to go anywhere else /shrug
stonetemplefox05
Okay I think I'm old enough to know now, how do clubs work?
GreaseMonkeyOfLove
They’re supposed to make it impossible to turn the steering wheel fully. Of course thieves have ways around that.
stonetemplefox05
K turns with a lot more points?
SeasonedCitizen
Bolt cutters through the steering wheel, one spot, Club falls off.

NL31
Ah...I see, that's for English cars!
MrNohbdy
Hacksaw is just as fast, and easier to conceal
flacoloco
I drive a manual, and have a fuel cut-off switch hidden in the car
nanyatenyaa
Part of the point of the club is a highly visible deterrent that you can't drive the car. Its prevents vandalism, like a smashed window.
nanyatenyaa
Sauce: Used to have a manual, they'd smash the window THEN realize its manual. That gets to be fucking expensive.
rpxi
Driving manual is enough security these days
spittytrinkles
I had a friend who would remove the rotor button when parking for more than a few hours.
Onlyhereforthelaughs
Ah yes, the Kill Switch.

*Late 90’s. Early 90’s was pullout decks and gun racks.
AmericanBurek
Don’t forget early 2000s….00s?
5ywjdPumpkinPrincess
ispentwaytoolongthinkingaboutthis
30 year old radios are funny
StarscreamAndHutch
Club was early 90s. I had one in college for a little bit.
HedonistBeard
lrateyourrig
See that's where me and those decks differ
HamshanksCPS
@OP didn't specify which part of the decade, meaning they are technically correct. The best kind of correct.

beep beep, protected by viper -your car prob
JustAddMud
Protected by an actual viper
HCdamaan58
I can remember one model that had a voice say “armed by Viper” before blaring the alarm.
Totallyscrewedinaustin
One of those lived next door to me....in a duplex....know how I know?? It was always going off at 1am!!!
HCdamaan58
I remember one that was behind the Jack in the box just east of 35 by braker lane in some apartments back there that did the same!!
neilwatkinsfromaccounting
And then they still smashed your window or gouged your lock for your sunglasses and ash tray coins
neilwatkinsfromaccounting
Oh and CDs
RooGryphon
exactly if they want it they will get it... thats why i dont bother locking the doors... just OPEN them! not smash my glass
Merky600
Buddy in ‘88 Hollywood. They broke the window of his low end Hyundai to take stock radio. Ever see first Hyundais?
neilwatkinsfromaccounting
Yeah. That’s the one in Boyz n the Hood

Thanks for the giggle, but I’m tired’a youse.
UsedCarSalesChick
Fantastic ad campaigns!
uglywerewolf
I remember my friend had a radio face plate that would flip when I turned off the car .. so u didn't have to take it with you
Baltzdelirium
Those were cool my cousin had one
5ywjdPumpkinPrincess
I remember those
SoooooOriginal
Wot? The whole point of taking it with you was to make it pointless to steal the rest of it.
Type17
Visited NYC in '88 - cars had a card in the window - NO RADIO. One car had a had broken window and another card - JUST CHECKING (/s)

Kenwood Dmask
RappRio
Made by Kenwood.
IrmoVala
Kenwood had their own, the KDC-W8027 for example
RappRio
Come stock on Mazdaspeed Protégés
bedframe
Or the Kameleon, which was featureless black when off.
GreaseMonkeyOfLove
Which is currently in my daily driver!
RappRio
Made by JBL. My good friend had this. I thought it was the greatest thing ever invented.
IrmoVala
JVC, if i remember correct
GreaseMonkeyOfLove
JVC KDxLX111....I (still) have one, it’s been in every one of my daily drivers since 2002. I added a 3.5 aux input jack to it
bedframe
That's awesome! I bet you're like a little kid watching it start up every time.
Slash5
With the key fob attacks now, they are recommending these again.
AMatureTwink
Yeah unfortunately proximity keyfobs created a whole new issue for convenience
Giant2179
I have to keep my keys in a metal box at night because our car was getting "broken" into multiple nights a week
Giant2179
It was always locked with no signs of forced entry
YouMayFindThisMildlyInteresting
Nearly every Range Rover parked around here has one, some even going back to the huge discs that cover the steering wheel. Very stealable.
DKEffect
I'm suddenly curious what it would look like if the airbag went off with one of those on.
GreaseMonkeyOfLove
Fob attacks. *laughs in 80s Mercedes*
AMatureTwink
*Laughs in lishi lock picks*
Imjustheretodrinkandcomment
Key fob attacks?
SqueezitTheClown
Basically an man-in-the-middle attack with a short range client/repeater. One person gets the encrypted signal and send it to the other.
Elkarlo77
Reason to buy a Keyhanger with a metal plate at the wall, and a tray below and putt your keys there, to reduce the range of the fob.
Rauca
Or, if you are sitting close by, say in a cafe and you parked just outside. Bye bye car. It's the worse invention yet.
YouMayFindThisMildlyInteresting
It was just so damn inconvenient having to press a button on the key.
SqueezitTheClown
The car thinks the keys are near the car so it unlocks, starts, whatever. It’s usually only viable on keyless ignition vehicles.
qtRaven
Gotta love low tech security.
MildlyConcernedTV
Good think I’m poor enough to not own a keyless entry Fob
SqueezitTheClown
Lotta 4Runners and F-150s get snagged in Canada with this exploit.
