Abstract
An antitheft guard for an ignition switch comprises a housing adapted to overlie the ignition switch, the housing comprising a cylindrical cup-like section closed at one end and shaped at the periphery of the open end to conform generally to the contour of the steering column. The housing is held in place by hinged arcuate sections adapted to encircle the steering column. The arcuate sections and the periphery of the cup-like section may be padded to prevent marring of the steering column. A portion of the housing and one of the arcuate sections cooperate to permit a padlock to retain the assembly securely in place on the steering column.
