ABSTRACT:
A collar of suitable material, such as rubber, plastic, wood, metal, or the like, placed in surrounding association with a locking handle of an automobile door, of the type which extend vertically upwardly from the inside of the window sill of the door and which has an enlargement or knob at its upper end, the collar serving to convert such handle, when it is in "locked-door" position, to one having a side wall configuration of substantially uniform diameter throughout its height, such collar having an inside diameter smaller than the diameter of the enlarged head or end knob of such handle, but sufficiently large to slidably accommodate the shank of such handle and having an upper annular surface shaped to conform to the underside of the enlarged head of such handle. The collar and resulting modified handle serving to prevent the capability of such handle being lifted by means of a hooked wire, or the like, projected into the interior of the automobile through the space between the door window glass and the portion of the automobile framing the window glass, and hooked beneath the enlarged knob-like end of such handle so as to unlock the door.
