Abstract
An apparatus and method for motor vehicle anti-theft wherein the apparatus comprises a device for blocking a motor vehicle's exhaust gases path and a device for moving the blocking device. The moving device moves or displaces the blocking device to one of a first position, whereat the blocking device is completely removed from an exhaust gases path, and a second position, whereat the blocking device completely blocks an exhaust gases path. The method comprises the steps of actuating the moving device and moving the blocking device to a position, whereat the blocking device completely blocks off or seals off a motor vehicle exhaust gases path.

A motor vehicle anti-theft apparatus, which comprises:
- a blocking element for blocking the flow of motor vehicle exhaust gases;
- and
- a driving device for moving said blocking element,
- wherein said driving device one of moves and displaces said blocking element between a first position, whereat said blocking element is removed from an exhaust gases path, and a second position, whereat said blocking element is in an exhaust gases path.
A motor vehicle anti-theft apparatus, which comprises:
- a blocking element for blocking the flow of exhaust gases in a vehicle exhaust system;
- a driving device for moving said blocking element;
- a control device for controlling said driving device;
- and
- an actuation device for actuating said control device;
- wherein said blocking element is moveable between at least of a first position, whereat said blocking element is located outside of the path of flow of exhaust gases, and a second position, whereat said blocking element is in the path of flow of exhaust gases.
A method for preventing a theft of a motor vehicle, which comprises the steps of:
- actuating a driving device;
- and
- moving a blocking element with the driving device from a first position, whereat the blocking element is outside of an exhaust gases path, to a second position, whereat the blocking element is in an exhaust gases path.
