fatty, in the jokes section

Vid on drilling out a common steering wheel lock...(NOT the Toyota Lock)  but it does take time, so someone may notice.

( and I would use one in a high risk area... hoping it will scare tea leafs off)

Yep the whole thing is a joke, vehicles worth $100,000 plus with one of the easiest system for tea leafs to crack, and the best Toyota can suggest is a glorified club lock, at a very inflated price I bet.
