Click the image above to see the amazing arm-breaker anti-theft device

Car theft is a big problem in the United States and around the world. It's expensive for insurance companies and taxpayers alike, and thieves always seem to be one step ahead of the law. It would be great if you could install an anti-theft system that makes your steering wheel shake to the point where it will break bones whenever someone tries to steer it, but alas this video is showing a faulty steering rack system in action. It may make for a bad anti-theft system, but it makes an entertaining video. Check out the entire video after the jump.
