If you have a GM tilt steering column, any kid with a screwdriver can disable steering lock, and start the ignition in 10-40 seconds.
The non-tilt columns will take a bit longer, but can be had, just there is a lot more plastic to crack.
There are several locks that DO serve as a deterrent, Stedfast, Cargard, and Lokitt were some, they all eventualluy became parts of Steadfast Auto security.
Their website is down, or they are gone (?!)
Here are some of their locks:

I bought a CarGard in the mid 80's, I painted it neon yellow, and it's very visible, to keep the rookies away.

The Professionals bring a roll-back in a pickup truck, or a wrecker with the low profile fork lifts, lift the rear tires, and are gone in 5 seconds!
I highly recommend the LoJack setup(s), they have an add-on GPS option for around $100, but their LoJack is a pay once, no-annual fees type product, they offer at-home service for installation and 2-year checkups.
They are very careful with classic cars, and cops love to chase after the bad guys if your car is taken, as it is almost a guaranteed bust that evening.
Several car alarms also offer GPS versions, you can setup safe zones, and alerts if the car moves.Dave
