Default Best anti-theft device

Is there a better anti- theft device other than the "club", thanks for any ideas?

There are many options but it all comes dn to if someone really wants your Vette, they will get it. Lojack is a tracking device that local police use to track dn your car when stolen but God only knows the condition it will be in if you get it back. It's effectiveness depends on if the police have time to track it before it was disabled. Depending on where you live or where it was stolen from, the police might be a tab bit busy to track a stolen car ASSP. You need to check their website to see if your area is covered.

Glock .40 Cal.

Seriously though if they want it bad enough they got it, hell pull it up on a flat bed and take it someplace to work on it. Might be a little harder with the new ones and OnStar but still doable.

Check out the "BlackJack" option available on the CLIFFORD alarms. I have this option on mine and it's wonderful protection and peace of mind.

Also you might consider to install a remote controlled bomb under the drivers seat.

Also get a fitted cover...both work well together.

I've done the "kill switch" and "auto lock" (pedal jack)

Club is a piece of ***
