The video stated that they were working on a stronger steering wheel lock. Also said the 2010s had steering wheel lock but guess it was just the Eskys as mine doesn't. Hard to believe that GM would have a model specific column after all of those years w/ the "gone in 60 seconds" column they put on everything. All it took was a slide hammer and a screw driver and you were on your way. No messing hot wiring needed.

Bottom line: if they want your ride bad enuf, they'll get it.
