ABSTRACT:
A disabling device is designed for a steering wheel of a motor vehicle, which consists of an elongated rod. Components which utilize conventional padlocks are provided for locking the elongated rod onto the steering wheel, to prevent a would-be thief from turning the steering wheel when attempting to steal the motor vehicle. Three embodiments of the instant invention foil a thief because they are just to large and bulky to permit the steering wheel to be operated when locked in place, while an alternative fourth embodiment provides security by actually disabling both the steering wheel and brake pedal simultaneously.
