The molding is sufficient in length and width to adequately protect a selected portion of the vehicle. Locking device mechanisms are recessed within the underside portion of the body molding which, when affixed to the jam of a door on a vehicle, prevent theft of the body molding while it is attached to the side of the vehicle.
