ABSTRACT:
A vehicle anti-theft device is comprised of two parallel spaced apart vertically extending supports having angularly bent base portions adapted to rest on the floor of the vehicle on opposite sides of the brake pedal lever. A transverse bar is welded to the supports and is adapted to underlie the brake pedal lever. The transverse bar is provided with an upturned end portion at one end thereof having a hole therein. A locking bar is adapted to extend substantially parallel to the transverse bar above the brake pedal support lever and is provided with a spigot at one end which is adapted to be inserted in the hole in the upright end portion of the transverse bar. The opposite end of the locking bar is provided with an aperture which will be aligned with a corresponding aperture in the transverse bar when the spigot is fully inserted in the hole so that a padlock may be inserted through the aligned aperture. The transverse bar or a separate bar secured to one or more of the upright supports is adapted to extend beneath the accelerator to prevent the actuation thereof while the brake pedal lever is prevented from operative movement by the transverse bar.
