Foil Persistent Car Thief Novice on New Model
A new automobile model features a gear-shift lock to deter theft. The hardened steel tube engages the transmission cover and locks the change gear lever in neutral, making movement without towing impossible. Only the key can unlock, offering theft resistance while the owner can still move the car with a shove of the gear tube.
