  • Patent number: 4791795
    Abstract: A vehicle anti-theft device. The device is amenable for use with a vehicle having a gear lever. The device includes a removable housing which fits over and encloses the gear lever. The housing is locked in place to prevent movement of the gear lever by a bolt passing through the housing in interengagement with the gear lever and penetrating a barrel lock housing fixedly attached to the gear lever housing. The bolt has a head at one end which prevents rotation thereof, and a hole at the other end in mutual register with the bolt-engaging portion of the barrel lock. The locking of the housing in place over the gear lever prevents movement thereof so that the vehicle cannot be driven without unlocking the housing.
