ABSTRACT:
An automobile anti-theft device includes a cover that fits over a steering column-mounted ignition lock, and a flexible element that wraps around the steering column and secures the cover thereto. A gear shift lock bar is attached to a sidewall of the cover, and extends laterally from the cover, wraps around a column-mounted gear shift lever, and includes a free end that extends back under the tension bearing element to be secured thereby. The device protects the ignition lock from tampering and in addition prevents the gear shift lever from being moved into gear in the event that the ignition lock is bypassed.
