ABSTRACT:
An anti-theft device for road vehicles comprises a yoke having a solid extension or block for positioning below the brake pedal with the brake arm extending through the yoke. An elongated rod member is connected to the yoke and has an inverted generally U-shaped upper end for hooking over a spoke of the vehicle steering wheel and an externally threaded lower end which receives an intermediate connector member having an outwardly extending tab. The intermediate connector member may be secured at selective distances relative to the upper end of the rod to fit various vehicles. The block or extension and the intermediate connector are pinned together with a lock pin and secured with a padlock. The anti-theft device in the locked position provides a mechanical interlock between the vehicle steering wheel and the vehicle foot brake pedal to prevent rotation of the steering wheel, and between the foot brake pedal and the floorboard of the vehicle to prevent the brake pedal from being depressed.
