Abstract
An improved anti-theft device for use with a vehicle door locking mechanism, the latter having a sill knob rod rotatably connected to a locking lever so that actuating the sill knob rod moves the locking lever to either lock or unlock the locking device, includes a housing to cover and protect the locking mechanism. The tube is joined to the housing and surrounds the sill knob rod engaged to the locking lever. The periphery of the sill knob rod is spaced away from the inner wall of the tube over the full length of the sill knob rod enclosed within the tube.
