I can't say I've seen one of these in years, and I can't say they were too large a part of my childhood (because millennial). One of the last places I expected to see one is on a brand new Audi A4 Prestige parked at my tennis club.
So do people actually still use these or did I actually stumble upon a relic?
On a side note, soon after I took this pic, I got into my car turned it on, and gave it a second to cool down. In that time, an old couple in a 2005 beat Volvo V70 parked next me - within millimeters of sideswiping me (though there was nothing parked on the other side of them). While I thought the crisis was averted, she (the ppassenger) opened the door (in slow motion in my mind) banging my car in the process while I was sitting in the drivers seat.
As soon as she was out of my way, I got out to inspect for damage and politely let her know that she hit me (she actually was old enough that I believed she didn't notice she hit it). They both were apologetic and waited as I inspected for a dent.
No damage, but I felt kinda like a dick for calling out a nice little old lady.
That is all.

What the hell? That's real strange to put one of those on. It's not like it's an older Civic or anything that you can break into with a banana and a toothpick.

Use of the club is still prevalent in LA.

I must be missing something, because I don't get the fucking point of these. Can't you still turn the wheel with it on?
I'm very confused as to their existence.

My mom put one on her manual Matrix. Thought someone would steal it.

Even though I seem to have one of the most sensitive Alarm systems in the planet , I still use one of these bad boys. I drive an older Civic that can be broken into if you cough at it a specific way. I don't know what it is , but I feel better parking in the city when I use the wheel lock.

I see Civics in my area with boots on the wheels to prevent thefts. Seems excessive but I understand how easy it is for these cars to be stolen and parted out in about 2 hours, you'd think Honda would design a slightly more complicated ignition system but then their reliability ratings would tank.
