ABSTRACT:
A license plate security frame for preventing a theft or unauthorized removal of a license plate from a vehicle. The device includes an outer frame which receives the license plate and attaches to the vehicle body with the license plate bolts. An inner frame is pivotally mounted to the outer frame and may be locked to the same by a pair of secretly hidden locking members. The inner frame includes a pair of bolt guards which effectively preclude access to the license plate bolts and conceal the locking members when the inner frame is locked to the outer frame. Alternate embodiments of the present invention include corner lock assemblies for further locking the frames together, and an electric shock assembly connectable to a vehicle alarm or ignition system for energizing a partially insulated and partially exposed wire along the perimeter of the outer frame, whereby contact with the wire by unauthorized persons will result in a shock.
