Because engine immobilisers are a thing, that's also why car keys are so expensive. The engine won't start without the correct key so no need to worry about the wheel.

As for reflectors, the people that use them might just opt for ceramic window tints.

Unless of course you drive certain models of Kia and Hyundai

And the older models as well

I drive a 2007 Kia and that thing has no special security features

Shit it doesn't even have cruise control

Better not give Tom a ride, then. We've all seen how he gets when there's a lack of control..

Tinting your windshield is illegal, but I guess you could just use a super clear ceramic film... Except it's still super expensive and not as effective compared to a simple reflector.

Actually, in most places there's a maximum opacity for safety reasons rather than an outright ban. Granted, some jurisdictions set the limit so low that it makes the whole thing pretty much pointless 🤷
