10 Reasons This Lock Stops Car Thieves Before They Even Touch The Door
Immobilisers work. But nobody warned you what a thief wrecks finding that out.
Last Updated: 12 October 2026
1. It Works Before Your Immobiliser Kicks In
Your car’s immobiliser is hidden. It only works once the thief is already inside. By then he’s smashed the window and ripped into the steering column. Your car’s still there, but you won’t be driving it for a while.
The Lock’d Car Defender stops him before he gets that far. He can see the bright yellow lock from 20 metres away, so he never even tries the door.
2. It Makes Thieves Walk Straight Past Your Car
66,625 cars were stolen in Australia in 2025, the most in 17 years. The thief on your street isn’t picking locks. He’s picking cars, and he goes for whichever one looks easiest.
One look at the lock tells him yours isn’t the easy one, so he goes looking for one that is.
3. He Can’t Steer Your Car Anywhere
Say he ignores the warning and gets inside. Now the only question is whether he can drive it away.
Not with the Car Defender on. Its 5 mm braided steel cable holds the wheel dead still. And a car that won’t steer isn’t going anywhere, whatever he does to the ignition.
4. It Goes On in 5 Seconds, Every Time You Park
Most steering wheel locks are heavy and fiddly, so they only go on when you can be bothered. And a thief doesn’t care if you could be bothered.
The Car Defender goes on in 5 seconds, so it’s on every time, whether you can be bothered or not. That’s the quick dash for groceries, and the weeks it’s parked up while you’re working away or on holiday.
5. It Covers the One Button a Thief Would Try
If it clips into the seatbelt, can’t a thief just press the button and pull it out?
The lock head sits right over the buckle and covers the release button. Only your key opens it, and it’s cut to one of 10,000 combinations. So he can press away all night, and it still won’t come out.
6. No More Getting Out of Bed to Check the Street
When a car gets stolen two streets over, you start listening at night. Every car that slows down out the front has you up and peering through the blinds.
With the Car Defender on, there’s nothing to check. You hear the car slow down and go straight back to sleep.
7. The Proof Comes the Next Morning
A steering wheel lock is the kind of thing you never see working. Nobody knocks on your door to tell you a thief looked in and walked off.
With the Car Defender, working looks boring. You come out in the morning and drive to work in your own car, instead of working out how you’ll get there.
8. Even a Thief With a Grinder Moves On
Give a thief tools and all night, and any lock comes off. But the real choice happens before that, while he’s still deciding which car is worth the trouble.
A grinder is loud and throws sparks, and he’d be out in the street with it for anyone to see. The car two doors up has nothing on it, so that’s the one he goes for.
9. It Fits 99% of Vehicles With 120 Days to Try It
The Car Defender fits 99% of cars, from sedans and SUVs to utes. And if it doesn’t fit yours, send it back within 120 days for a full refund. Trying it costs you nothing.

Over 15,000 Aussies have made the switch to Lock’d. They leave the car at the train station all day, or out the front all night, without carrying it around in their head.
Join them, and let the thief try someone else’s car.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I’M INSURED. WHY BOTHER?
Keep your insurance. You’d still rather never use it. A claim means paying the excess and going without your car for a while. The Car Defender stops it getting that far.
MY CAR ISN’T A TARGET. DO I REALLY NEED ONE?
Plenty of owners of plain, older cars thought the same, right up until the morning it was gone. A thief doesn’t need to love your car. He just needs it to look easy.
WON’T THEY JUST SMASH A WINDOW OUT OF SPITE?
A thief doesn’t smash a window for fun. He’s after a car he can take, and the yellow lock tells him this isn’t one.
WHAT IF I LOSE A KEY?
Each lock comes with 3 keys, its own set, so you’ve got two spares from day one. Keep one on your keyring and the spares somewhere safe at home.
