ABSTRACT:
An antitheft article for a motor vehicle has two parts which are pivotable relative to one another between an open position and a closed position. Each of the parts resembles a box having an open side, and the open sides of the box-like parts face each other. A padlock is fixed to one of the box-like parts, and a tubular element for receiving the shackle of the padlock is fixed to the other of the box-like parts. One of the box-like parts is further provided with a pedestal. In operation, the box-like parts are opened and placed around the tread of the brake pedal with the pedestal facing the floorboard of the vehicle. The box-like parts are closed and, in the process, the shackle of the padlock passes through the tubular element. The padlock is locked thereby fixing the box-like parts with respect to one another. Cutouts are formed in the box-like parts for the lever supporting the tread of the brake pedal. If an attempt is made to depress the brake pedal, the pedestal comes into abutment with the floorboard of the vehicle and prevents the brake pedal from activating the brakes.
