ABSTRACT:
A device and method utilizing a standard automotive vehicle bumper jack, including a lower and upper jack adaptor and padlock. The lower jack adaptor engages both the bottom of the bumper jack and the brake pedal of the automotive vehicle. The upper jack adaptor engages both the top of the bumper jack and the steering wheel of the automotive vehicle. Once the jack and the adaptors are correctly positioned between the vehicle's brake pedal and the steering wheel, the bumper jack is activated to produce a downward positive pressure on the automotive vehicle's brake pedal, thus locking all four (4) wheels thereof. A padlock is inserted into one of the bumper jack apperatures and locked to prohibit the disengagement of the bumper jack.
An alternative embodiment consists of a unitary device and method utilizing a cylindrical shaft body having a screwing mechanism and a shaft lock. The lower portion having a forked end that engages the vehicles brake pedal and an upper portion having a finger to engage the steering wheel of the vehicle. Once installed the unitary device is locked.
