Abstract
The present invention comprises a number of layered stainless steel plates, a plurality of bolts and tamper-resistant screws, and a length of cable. A temporary bolt head holder can be included to keep the bolt heads in place. The plates can be held apart by a plurality of springs temporarily placed between the plates. The cable is then wrapped around the catalytic converter and threaded between openings between the plates. After this, the bolt holder can be removed. When the bolts are tightened, they create a 'clamping' force that securely holds the cable in place. A protective cover is then placed over the catalytic converter and secured to the other plates and cable using tamper-resistant screws. The cable is also wrapped around other underbody structure of the vehicle to further compound the amount of anti-theft security that is provided by the lock and assembly of the present invention.
