An anti-theft device is disclosed for use on a vehicle employing air-operated
parking brakes. The device is shaped for disposal about the parking brake control
knobs when engaged. The device includes a pair of mating halves formed for surrounding
and enclosing the control knobs while in an engaged position. A first of the halves
includes a tongue having an opening therein and a second of the halves includes
a channel for receiving the tongue. A lock is provided with a locking pin being
disposed in the second half wherein the locking pin engages the opening in the
tongue in order to secure the first and second halves together. Also, an adjustment
mechanism is provided for tailoring the device to minor differences between the
brake control knobs from one vehicle to another.
