ABSTRACT:
An anti-theft device for a vehicle that is movably mounted on wheel carriers, for securing the vehicle against theft of wheels and against unauthorized towing, which comprises an alarm switch and an actuating member, one of which is mounted in a fixed position relative to the vehicle, and the other of which is mounted to move with one of the wheel carriers. The actuating member is arranged to actuate the switch, and has sufficient lost motion relative to the switch to accommodate normal relative movement of the vehicle and the wheel carrier during travel of the vehicle. The switch is actuated by relative motion of the switch and actuating member in excess of lost motion when the vehicle is raised for towing or for removal of a wheel.
