With a quick-release steering wheel you GOTTA take the wheel with you every time you leave the car, or somebody else will. I say forget the quick-release and bolt the wheel down and secure the car in a normal way.

Funny. You can not tell the QR is there, unless you know it's there. It's virtually invisible. Another benefit of the QR is that it lets you easily adjust the orientation of your wheel so you can see the gauges the way you want to (and not have them blocked by the steering wheel arms). I won't even mention how much easier it is to work under the dash with the wheel off. At $850 it's a bargain IMHO and if I was worried about passing inspection I'd just have Bob P. whip me up a little "jacket" that would bolt around the steering column to hide the QR until after inspection.

Unless you know the QR is there, you don't see it. I rarely park mine where I can't see it so I've never been too worried about that. You can also lock it in the trunk out of sight. Patrick is right most people don't mess with the car anyway.

The tonneau is also nice for the occassion when mindless parents come along and think that the open car makes a nice photo op for their kid! Happened at a car show at the NHRA museum. We left the cars and went in to the museum. Mine, the one with the tonneau was unmolested. My friend's, without, had a kid jumping up and down in the driver's seat and his parents taking photos! I thought my friend was going to launch them all into the next county!

I never cease to be amazed at how people behave with other people's property. I bet that they didn't even think they were doing anything wrong, and couldn't understand why your friend was upset.
