Abstract
The present anti-theft device includes a lock housing having a cable winding spool therein with the free end of the cable extending out of the housing. A control member carried by the housing includes means for locking the housing to an intermediate portion of the cable to form a closed loop. A combination lock within the housing controls locking and unlocking movements of the control member and the control member is adapted when in locked position with respect to the cable to engage the winding spool and prevent winding or unwinding movement of the spool. The housing is in the form of an elongate cylindrical member and the combination lock and the winding spool are both coaxially disposed in the cylindrical housing member.
