"The club".

An acquaintance of mine ( ex-lbc owner ) met me one day as I stood talking
to someone around the corner from where I had parked my Sprite.  He said
something to the effect of "How quaint!  I'm just on my way to the hardware
store to pick up some bolt cutters."  To make a long story short, he
explained that to remove a club from a car that you want, you cut the
steering wheel on either side of where it fits at one end.

I assume that this is common knowledge among car thieves, or I wouldn't post
it for the archives.
