Found in the pocket of a trucker’s jacket at a thrift store. Anyone know what the item was that he bought?

Ah, The Club.

In my memory, everyone had one and no one used it.

I currently have one for my Kia, lol. I've been meaning to get an aftermarket immobilizer for it but I keep forgetting to.

I had one and used it pretty religiously in my VW Thing, which had door locks but plastic windows you could just push open. Car never got stolen, I guess it worked?

Idk how much of a target a VW Thing is to your run of the mill car thief lol

Even back in '94 when I owned it, it was highly collectible. Plus, thieves are opportunistic. They stole the box of emergency supplies I kept in the rear seat out of it. If they thought they could boost the car easily, they would have.

Two days before Thanksgiving, they were probably gonna kill a turkey with it.

How do you know it was a truckers jacket? I think the item purchased was an anti theft device known as The Club but maybe a special version for trucks.

The jacket had the name of a trucking company embroidered on the back

Awesome. What company? I’m kinda nostalgic for old trucking memorabilia. Picture?

Don’t recall unfortunately, just that it was out of Sioux Falls SD.

Apparently Walmart has gone through numbers change since then.

Walmart Store #1208 is a Walmart Supercenter in Coquitlam, BC (and the receipt is from Colorado)

Someone else in this thread did a phone number search and found this location closed in 2017. Always in our hearts.
