Before they get in to the Vette, this solution

If they are in the Vette, then aim carefully and cap up with this

If they are caught later on, then

Most people say it'd only take a pro about ten seconds to freeze and shatter a Club. Based on that number, and the number you provided, a Club more than doubles the protection against theft, and why I use one. If anything, it just makes the car more of a hassle to steal, and makes it more likely for the thief to choose another vehicle to steal.

Auto anti-theft device

Kinda work safe....turn your volume down just a bit though!




Edit: If your vette is not a daily driver, and you care about your other vehicles, I thought I would include this one as well.
