WILLOUGHBY, Ohio (WOIO) - Willoughby Police are distributing steering wheel locks donated by Hyundai to deter thieves from stealing the car.

Bring that documentation to the Willoughby Police Department to pick up the lock.

The locks are in limited supply and will be issued on a first come, first serve basis.
