ABSTRACT:
An anti-theft device for attachment to a steering wheel of an automobile, has a continuous metal shield, having a shield body which is accurately shaped to completely cover the top surface of the steering wheel and a shield body's side apron which is accurately shaped to completely surround the outer periphery of the steering wheel. The metal shield is configured to encase an elongate rigid security rod in diametrically opposed hump housings located on the face of the shield body. A pair of opposing hooks engage the rim of the steering wheel when the elongate rigid security rod is telescopically extended. Hook flanges extending from the underside of the shield body's apron engage the two hooks. A keyed lock secures the device to the steering wheel. Access to the keyed lock is provided by an access opening in the center of the shield body.
