should be ok.

Re: Chased a thief
You could tie a rotweiller to the steering wheel ...
At risk of getting holes in your Jeep, you could just shoot the bastard and
go back to bed.

Re: Chased a thief
they will only deter a casual theif. If he want's it, those will slow him
down for, oh... about 20 seconds. The locking mechanism is like those
"kryptonite" type bike locks. You know the ones... they're all over the
news for their heralded unpickability... Someone realized that if you stick
the open end of a bic pen in the lock, it opens like you have the master
key...
