Abstract
The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to an anti-theft device for use with a motorized vehicle, such as a riding lawn mower. The device comprises a main body defined by first and second ends. Each end of the device comprises a pair of arms, each with a distal end and a proximal end. The distal end of each arm includes an aperture sized and shaped to allow a lock or other securing element to pass therethrough. For example, with riding lawn mowers, the disclosed device can be used to lock the mower handles in an “off” position, so that the mower cannot be started until the device is removed.
