Can a steering-wheel lock help protect a keyless car?

Yes. It is a visible mechanical barrier that can complement electronic security, though it cannot guarantee protection.

PSNI recommends considering a steering-wheel lock alongside secure key storage and alarms. Choose a suitable product that fits correctly and does not interfere with normal driving controls when removed. Layers of protection are more useful than relying on a single device.
