Here's something to ponder: if you put a Club on your wheel then your car is *more* likely to be stolen by a professional car thief than if you did not.

A pro needs one tool to steal your car: a crowbar to break the wheel lock.  The same pro needs a 6 inch hacksaw blade to saw through your steering wheel to remove the Club and use it as the crowbar to break the lock.  Which is easier to carry around: a crowbar or a 6 inch hacksaw blade?

The object lesson: feeling secure is not being secure.
