ABSTRACT:
An anti-theft device for a vehicle in which a device is provided that locks the brake pedal of the vehicle in a downward, brake-actuating state, to thereby prevent operation of the vehicle. The device includes a pair of pivotal plate members, which are locked to the brake pedal proper via a first locking arrangement, while a second locking arrangement fixedly connects and locks a lower portion of the second downwardly extending plate member to the floor of the vehicle, such second lock keeping and locking the device and the brake pedal in a lowered depressed state thereof, where the brakes are in their engaged state. The locking arrangements are operated by a key. Also provided is an ancillary brake light switch for rending de-energized the rear brake lights of the vehicle when the device of the invention is attached to the brake pedal, and the brake pedal is in its downward brake-actuating state, in order to prevent drainage of the vehicular battery.
