It’s the club for “The Club.”

As in the anti-auto theft device popularized in the early 1990s as a lo-tech way of keep aspiring car thieves in check.

City Collector of Revenue Gregory F.X. Daly and St. Louis Metropolitan Police Chief Joseph Mokwa have joined forces to fight crime through Club-mongering, supplying The Club to the public for only $11. (The Club retails at $40.)

While not as ripe for parody its competitors “Protected by Viper, Stand Back!” ads, the Club remains a staple of anti-auto theft devices.

Concerned citizens can plunk down their duckets for the device at the State Fee Office in City Hall. There are also license plate covers available for the low, low price of $5 a pair.
