ABSTRACT:
A wheel lock is disclosed for securing to the wheel of a vehicle to impede rotation of the wheel to prevent theft of the vehicle. The wheel lock comprises a clamp having opposed arms which are movably coupled together. Each arm carries a projection extending inwardly with respect to the other projection to form an opening therebetween. The projections being carried by the arms can be moved apart to a first position in which the opening is sufficient to be received over the tire and rim of the wheel and the projections can thereafter be moved inwardly to a second position in which the opening between the projections of the opposed arms prevents the clamp from being disengaged from the wheel. The wheel lock further comprises position locking structure for selectively releasably locking the projections of the clamp in the second position to prevent the wheel lock from being disengaged from the wheel.
