Abstract
A device to prevent the unauthorized use of a motor vehicle through restriction or blocking of movement of the gear shift lever, mounted on the steering column, into an operative forward or reverse gear unless the ignition lock is physically moved from an ignition off position to an ignition on position. The device engages and therefore interacts with both the ignition lock and the gear shift lever to assume the blocking position relative to movement of the gear shift lever until the aforementioned lock is physically turned to the ignition on position.
