Slim Jim "Blocker"

Anybody know how this thing goes in? A friend gave it to me, its supposed to prevent someone from using a slim jim to pick the locks. He said it goes in the place of another clip, but I just can't find it.

Ok, I think I got it... it replaces the clip on the back of the lock cylinder? How do I get to that? There's no way I'm getting my arm in there...

I don't know exactly how that would go in, but all it takes to get a thirdgen door unlocked is the radio antenna and about 10-15 seconds

Simple. You planned ahead and had AAA make you a plastic credit card door key.
