Please, for the love of God, explain how the shear head bolts which secure
the column tube can deter theft when their removal leaves the steering lock
housing securely in place.  Or does the quick and stealthy thief change out the
steering column in toto for his personal one.  A thief this patient would
probably also bleed the cooling system before he made his escape.
