FOIL PERSISTENT CAR THIEF
Device on New Model Makes 1t I'M
possible to Move Auto Without
Towing 1t Away.

There seems TO be good reason to
believe way has been found to foil
the persistent car thief. Among the
features included on a new automo-
bile model is a gear-shift lock which
gives this car the distinction of be-
ing thief proof. Only by towing the
car away can it be moved against the
wishes of the owner The new lock
is an integral part of the transmission
cover. A hardened steel tube acts as
the lock. This tube slides into en-
gagement with the change gear lever,
which becomes locked solid. In this
position it becomes impossible to move
the lever out of neutral and so engage
the gears. The machine is locked
against theft by light shove with the
foot on this steel tube. The key is
necessary only for unlocking.
