"Wheel locks prove effective in preventing car thefts"

A group of minors attempted to steal a woman's car in Memphis, but were unsuccessful due to a steering wheel lock that prevented the wheel from being turned. The suspects broke into the car, drove it forward a few feet, and then abandoned it. The victim believes the lock saved her vehicle. The Memphis Police Department frequently hosts wheel lock giveaways and anyone with information about this incident is asked to call CrimeStoppers.
