Trucks/SUVs Appear in Top 10 Stolen Vehicles List for 2018

SHARON, Pa., Dec. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Trucks and SUV style vehicles continue to appear in the most stolen list of vehicles. As trucks and SUV's become increasingly popular among buyers, they become more desirable to thieves too.  "The Club" is recommending its SUV/Truck Club to secure your vehicle. Similar to the original "The Club," this model adds 3" to the length making it a better fit for most larger vehicles.  

"Whether for joyriding, transportation, to sell their parts or a quick resale, trucks and SUV's now represent half of stolen vehicles in the top 10 list," said Jerry Trontel, President of Winner International, the maker of "The Club." If it's carrying desirable cargo, a thief can quickly make cash by selling the load.  

The SUV/Truck Club is highly visible to warn a thief before they break in. High visibility is the number one reason club-purchasers cite for using the product. To warn a thief before breaking in means the thief will be more likely to move on to an easier target. This means less chance of damage, let alone vehicle loss. This particular model uses laser encrypted keys to prevent unauthorized copying, and keyless locking, requiring a key to only unlock the unit. "It takes literally seconds to install "The Club" steering wheel lock. With the SUV/Truck Club, all the user needs to do is set it in place on the steering wheel, extend the ends to fit snugly onto the wheel, and that's it. It only requires a key to unlock this Club model," added Trontel. The SUV/Truck Club is made of Cro-Moly Steel making it more resistant to typical defeat attempts such as sawing, cutting, even freon.

"We specialize in mechanical products when it comes to security," said Trontel. "We all need to protect our property, and that certainly includes our vehicles. The disruption of your life, work or personal, is additional stress on top of all the costs that come along with being the victim of theft. A product that is simple to use is more likely to be used. All of our "The Club" products are designed to be easy to use, and tough to defeat. With steering wheel locks, there is no alarm involved so the user is not depending on someone else to intervene if an alarm goes off. We prefer simple, mechanical security. Sometimes that's all you need to have a highly effective theft deterrent. Being easy to use means they're more likely to be used. At "The Club" we follow that belief and create our products to be "Easy to use – Tough to Defeat," added Trontel.
