ABSTRACT:
A spare tire bracket lock is provided to prevent the theft of a spare tire from a pick-up truck or a similar vehicle of the type wherein the spare tire is stored beneath the undercarriage of the vehicle. The spare tire is supported by an elongated mounting bracket, which bracket is in turn supported by a pair of bolts secured to the undercarriage of the vehicle. A nut engages the lower portion of one of the bolts for removably securing the bracket thereto. The nut includes a flange having an eye for receiving the shackle of a padlock. The spare tire bracket lock includes a lipped portion which is slid over one edge of the bracket, the flange of the nut being simultaneously slid through a slot in the spare tire bracket lock. Positioned adjacent opposite faces of the flange are locking members having holes aligned with the eye of the flange for allowing the shackle of a padlock to be simultaneously passed through the holes in the locking members and the eye of the flange. The spare tire bracket lock also includes a shield plate for restricting access to the shackle of the padlock.
