Abstract: A motor vehicle anti-theft apparatus is operable to erect a locked physical barrier to prohibit access to the the foot pedal assembly. The device includes a pair of vertically mounted guides which are mounted on either side of the foot pedal assembly between the pedals and the operator. A rod is rotatably mounted horizontally between the left and right channels proximate to the upper ends of the channels, and a shutter assembly is fixedly attached to the rod and is slidably disposed in the vertically mounted guides. The shutter assembly includes a plurality of elongated rectangular panels having an articulated linkage to one another wherein rotation of the rod causes the shutter assembly to be successively wrapped around the rod. The shutter assembly can be moved between an extended and retracted position wherein the retracted position permits access to the foot pedal assembly and the extended position provides a physical barrier to the foot pedal assembly.
