ABSTRACT:
An elongated handle having an interior coil spring and a flexible jacket positioned over the spring is screwed into a terminal portion of a conventional automobile door lock actuation mechanism. The application of lateral forces to the handle by a thief will cause the handle to be bent owing to its high lateral compliance in directions transverse to the longitudinal axis of the handle, to prevent a thin, manually actuated tool from grasping the handle to a sufficient extent to enable the lock to be "popped" open.
