Probably an anti-theft device like "The Club".

According to my South African friend, a gearlock is a heavy club-like thing -- it's like a stearing
wheel lock, but you use it on the gear lever. In the back country it's a better theft deterrent
because people found out they can use liquid nitro to break steering wheel locks.

or just use a $5 hacksaw to cut through the steering wheel.

thanks, jason thug waddell

A couple of small drops of nitro into the lock and a sharp smack with a hammer and POW and the lock
is gone. Hardly louder than a firecracker and only takes about 3 seconds.

Have you seen this done ? I'd used a lot of liquid nitrogen as an undergrad, you can freeze anything
plastic, rubber or organic and make it shatter, but I'd have a hard time believing you could break a
steel lock this way.

...and "a couple small drops" isn't going to cool a piece of metal too much (you can pour a couple
drops into your hand, just don't hold it). To cool something enough you have to dunk it in the
liquid nitrogen.

Okay I did a search and found this:

LN2 can help you break a lock, but not as easily as you imply. This method can't be used with thick
hardened steel.

Maybe he meant nitroglycerin.

I saw it done on a safe for which the combination was lost many years ago. Liquid "nitro"? Are you
talking about nitroglycerin like I am?
