Its words

My Mechanic Wouldn't Give My Keys Back Until I Heard This

Dropped my RAV4 off for a service last Thursday. Same workshop I've been using for about six years. Bloke called Steve, runs the place out of Dandenong. He comes out to grab the keys like he always does. Then stops. "You got anything on the steering wheel? A lock or anything?" "Nah. It's got the factory alarm." He looks at the car, then back at me. "Mate, I've had five keyless cars come through here in the last two months. All stolen. All recovered damaged. Every single one had a factory alarm. Not one of them had anything visible on the wheel." I'm standing there holding my coffee thinking I'm about to get upsold on something. He pulls out his phone. Shows me his own car parked at home. Bright cable on the steering wheel, locked into the seatbelt buckle. "That's not a bar lock," I said. "No. Bar locks are useless. Thief cuts through the steering wheel rim in thirty seconds. This is a cable that connects the wheel to the seatbelt mount. Seatbelt mount is welded to the chassis. Same steel that holds you in a 60km/h crash. You'd need an angle grinder and five minutes to get through it." "Does it actually work?" "Put it this way. I've had hundreds of stolen cars through this workshop. Never once has one come in that had a visible cable on the wheel. Not once." He hands me the docket to sign. "The brand's called Anti Apex. The Driveway Defender. Fifty bucks. Get it sorted before your next service." Picked the car up that afternoon. Ordered one before I got home. When your mechanic tells you to do something, you do it. Especially when he's seen hundreds of stolen cars and not one of them had a cable on the wheel. 👉 antiapex.com/products/defender 250,000 sold across Australia. Zero defeated.

A heavy-duty anti-theft device that locks your steering wheel to the seatbelt buckle, making your car impossible to steer. The 5mm braided steel cable installs in under 15 seconds and fits 99% of vehicles. Visible from outside the car, it acts as a powerful deterrent, thieves spot it and move on. PV...
