Abstract
An automotive antitheft device comprises an elongated member having upper and lower ends. A first hook depends from the lower end of the elongated member. A member is connected at one end thereof to the elongated member by a lock. This member further has a second hook depending from the other end thereof. When installed in an automobile, the first hook at the lower end of the elongated member is positioned about a shaft of the automobile brake pedal (or accelerator pedal) and the upper end of the elongated member extends through the automobile steering wheel in between the steering wheel's spokes. Also, the second hook is positioned about the steering wheel column.
