the professional thief (or one that knows how to get around VATS and has a tool to do so) still has to invest a good amount of time to bypass VATS.... so that limits the cars that can be stolen... airport long-term parking spots are a favorite though.

I remember the old steering wheel ones.. you could lean back on the seat and either push with your feet or kick the steering whel.. and bend it enough to take it off.. or you could do it with your hands if you were mad strong enough

if that's the thing that hooks around the brake pedal and steering wheel, it's easier to just cut through the steering wheel, rendering the device completely useless.
