The steering wheel lock is more for the benefit of the owner to give him time to react. He says the car is parked in his driveway.

So, if he parks it in his driveway with the front pointing away from the street, and turns and locks the steering wheel off center, then clubs it, the tower will have a hell of a hard time "dragging" it up onto a to a tilt flatbed truck or just pulling it down the street.
