Default Ball Bearing fell off & landed on floor

I found it on front passenger side floor today.

Where is it from?

Could it be from the visor?
Glove box?

See photo for size.

Ball Bearing

I’m wondering if it fell out of my anti theft device “The Club” since I use that daily, parked in the street or on my driveway. When I move the car, I put the club in the passenger footwell.

I’ve Searched for info on ball bearing & the Club & cannot find any confirmation that it had ball bearings.

A ball bearing that size looks to be from a Front wheel bearing and somebody just kept it in the glovebox.

I thought that myself when I saw it.

I don’t see how it can be from my front wheel since the only “somebody” is me. I did not put a ball bearing in my glovebox.

If it was from my steering column, it would be on the driver side floor.
I don't think the visor has ball bearings.

I am thinking ‘The Club.’

The Club is a joke btw, ...it can be drilled in about 15 seconds anyways with a sharp 3/8" bit.

SOLVED!

I had emailed WINNER INTERNATIONAL Inc., the company that makes the original Club.
Yes, it came from my Club & they are sending me the parts to fix it @ N/C.

I’m relieved it was not something I have to fix on my Jag!

RE the club being a joke.

I bought it in 2000 when I bought my Jag., I learned soon after that car thieves bypassed it by sawing through the steering wheel.
I later tried to get the Auto lock brake lock but it would not fit my brake pedal. I also paid for LoJack in 2000 from the Jag Dealer.

Both are old tech & there are much better anti-theft options now.

I have newer cars that I drive much more often & they have modern security keys & anti theft protection built in, as do many new cars. (Engine immobilizer & alarm system that also monitors the hood & trunk.)

My intention was & still is to stop or slow down the punk, joy rider, drug addict & always knew I could not stop a professional car thief.
