Default Quick release hubs for steering wheels?

I am thinking about putting a quick release hub on my car for my steering wheel to add another layer of defense for theft deterrence.

But does anyone know if your horn will still work with the quick release? I would imagine I would have to put a quick disconnect between the wire coming from the steering column to the wire coming from the wheel so that the horn will work. Am I correct on this or is my thinking bass ackwards?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

quick releases will work with horns. here is an example of the one i have...

notice the center of the spline, how it has a prong sticking out, that prong touches the center of the horn button, which is the horn lead, so when you push the button, it sends the signal. the ground on the button should be touching the side of the quick release, so it grounds itself out, hope that made sense..

My keyed one from tekniq has two spring loaded prongs. I don't know how effective they are, cause I just moved my horn to the dash.
