I foresee this thread becoming a page in the next 'Stealing Cars for Dummies' book...
Sorry don't have an answer for you...I'd recommend contacting the manufacturer or maybe a locksmith.

He forgot to ask how to remove the club very quietly in the dark, so no one hears the noise.

Dremel with an abrasive cutting wheel. Put a few wet towels over plastic that you don't want to get melted by the red hot bits of steel, then cut away.

I've heard that car thieves used to spray freon on the club and super-chill a small portion of it. Then they would shatter the club with a big hammer. This "easy" method of defeating the club was why they weren't that effective at stopping good car thieves.

What material are clubs made of? It sounds like herdened steel, probably 60 Rockwell.
If so a hand grinder would go through it in minutes but put a non flamable sheet down and wear a mask and safety goggles because there will be a lot of sparks!

MoltenRedDak,
You see that episode of Burn Notice a while back where he showed an easy way to defeat standard padlocks? lol
You buy a can of "Canned Air" for cleaning computers out, flip it upside down and spray the lock a while. Flipping it over releases all the freon first. Then give it a good whack with a hammer. Shatters it. If that actually gets the metal cold enough, it prolly would work...

Back when I was in the towing business, I never saw them do that. I did recover quite a few vehicles with the steering wheel hack sawed and a club sitting on the floor or in the back seat. It only takes 10-15 seconds to hack saw through the metal ring and plastic of the steering wheel in one spot, then it'll flex enough to slip "The Club" off.
