As a further deterent against vehicle theft, you can choose to park head in and turn your steering wheel to the extreme right or left when parked.

This makes it more difficult for the thief to tow your car away. 
The park head in , turn wheel extreme is for towed away type of theft. It has no effect for those break-in type. Steering lock + Latio Steering column lock are for the break in type. The type of carkpark would determine which method to use. Like the those resort in desaru, open air type with lots of space for tow truck to manevre, maybe can use the park head in method. But for those narrow carpark, where it
s impossible for tow truck to enter or manuvre, the latio steering column lock makes more sense to me at least. Some of malaysia shopping complex (like the Tebrau Jusco) nowadays has very tight security, a tow truck entering would stand out prominently. Avoid parking at ulu open carpark

yup, in such situtation, the park head in, steer to the extreme makes no sense to me and this method does not allow you to engage the latio steering column lock.. A tow truck entering this carpark really stands out prominently on their radar.. I'll opt of steering column lock in this case.

i think the best locking device is lock at ur brake pedal..... if u lock on ur steering,thief so easy to break out coz steering is soft and without hard steel inside to prevent hurt on driver while accident. brake pedal steel is very very robust,imagine if ur pedal broken to 2 pieces,it will be very danger...so manufacturer done the steel which is not possible to brake them down in short time....so if want to buy ur lock....lock ur brake pedal.....
