ABSTRACT:
A device for deterring theft of a steering wheel mounted airbag and an automobile comprises a cover configured to generally cover a substantial portion of a steering wheel so as to inhibit access to an airbag mounted within the steering wheel, and also so as to inhibit use of the steering wheel. A lock inhibits removal of the cover when the lock is in the locked configuration thereof and facilitates removal of the cover when the lock is in the unlocked configuration thereof. Thus, the device deters theft of the airbag by preventing a thief from having access thereto and deters theft of the automobile by preventing the thief from driving the automobile.
