ABSTRACT:
A vehicle anti-theft device for attachment to a vehicle wheel or vehicle steering wheel is disclosed. The device has a first rod segment attached to a second rod segment wherein the second rod segment is designed for insertion through openings in a wheel or steering wheel in use. The first rod segment is elongated to prevent rotation of a vehicle wheel or steering wheel by contacting vehicle components, such as a vehicle undercarriage or dashboard. The device also has first and second flanges designed to be positioned in contact with opposing sides of a vehicle wheel or steering wheel when installed. The first flange may be securely attached to the first rod segment and the second flange may be of a design that is easily secured to or removed from the second rod segment. In the preferred embodiment, the flanges are of substantially triangular shape and may be angled or otherwise configured in a complementary manner to conform substantially to the anticipated shape of opposing sides of a vehicle wheel/tire combination and/or a vehicle steering wheel.
