15. It takes 2 minutes to saw the steering wheel and remove those steering wheel locks

To me they are worthless. I have to get the actual alarm system and kill switch for the insurance company to write my policy. The software upgrade only works if you lock the door with your FOB. If you happen to forget to lock the door, the car is still vulnerable to the same theft. I do understand it's dumb to leave your car unlocked, but obviously State Farm isn't going to leave it to chance. I expect other insurance carriers to follow suit. They will keep your car insured as long as you don't change companies or let it lapse. They will also raise the rates. I don't see 200 million as a good settlement. They should place the upgrades in the vehicles and at least split the cost which they aren't going to do.
