Would it be a 4dr or a 2dr neon, pretty sure 98 they made both.

Car like that will be found within a few weeks. Very easy to steal and commonly used for breakins/robberies then ditched somewhere in the NE.

Next time use a club.

^ Clubs are the biggest joke towards car security. Logically, their impossible to get off on their own, as their very well made using high grade steel.

So the goal with them for any car thief? is to not even bother with them, just use bolt cutters to cut the steering wheel, then you bend it enough so the club slides right off.

Dont get me wrong, Im FAR from any thief in anyway, but even I know that. Their a deterrent at best, nothing more, as most car thieves wont be lagging around a pair of bolt cutters in their bag, but even a hacksaw would work almost as quickly.

Partially true, for eg. an SLS AMG would likely be targeted by a professional thief who could go through a club in a few minutes.

A random car thief looking for an easy ride would think twice about stealing a clubbed Neon however.

A club isn't the be-all-end-all in security for sure. But given the opportunity to steal another vehicle without one, I'm sure even a seasoned thief would prefer not to deal with it.

I would occasionally pray my Neon would get stolen. Unfortunately, it never happened. Had to sell it the hard way.

I'd say count yourself lucky.

The real curiosity here is why the fuck are you looking for it? Just be happy the heap is gone.
