ABSTRACT:
An anti-theft device for a motor vehicle is provided. The anti-theft device is built into the vehicle and recesses into the dashboard of the vehicle when not in use. When in use, the anti-theft device is pulled from the dashboard and contacts the steering wheel of the vehicle. A lock mechanism provides the ability to lock the anti-theft device in contact with the steering wheel to prevent movement of the steering wheel. The anti-theft device is a non-flexible member which is withdrawn from the vehicle dashboard and passes in proximity to the transmission selector lever of the vehicle so that the transmission selector lever may not be moved out of the park position. When not in use, the anti-theft device is retracted into the dashboard of the vehicle and locked in that position.
