Claim:
A theft prevention device for enabling to lock a handlebar grip and a brake-lever of a two-wheeled vehicle, where the brake-lever is movably connected to the handlebar, to facilitate in preventing an unauthorized user from stealing said vehicle, said theft prevention device comprising: a housing comprising at least two openings; a handlebar cuff that enables slidably attaching to said housing through said openings and, together with the housing, enables cuffing the handlebar grip therein; a brake-lever cuff that enables slidably attaching to said housing through said openings and, together with the housing, enables cuffing the brake-lever therein; and a lock assembly that is operatively associated with said cuffs, wherein said lock assembly enables locking the cuffs in a position where the cuffs are engaged so that they cuff the handlebar grip and the brake-lever, wherein the lock assembly comprises: at least one pin plate comprising at least one plate channel, which is perforated therein; at least one pin, movably connected to said plate, wherein each pin is movably connected to the plate through said plate channel, which enables the pin to move within the channel; and a lock button, operatively associated with said pin plate, wherein said at least one plate channel is angular, constructed of at least two integrally connected channels that create and angle therebetween to allow the pins to protrude from the plate once reaching one end of the plate channel and to withdraw inwardly once reaching the other end of the plate channel, wherein said plate enables the pins to protrude outwardly from the plate along a predefined “X” axis, when the plate is moved along a predefined “Y” axis in one direction and to withdraw inwardly towards the plate when the plate is moved in an opposite direction along the “Y” axis, wherein each of said handlebar cuff and brake-lever cuff comprises at least one serrated channel, enabling the pins to insert therethrough, once the pins are in a protruding position, and thereby locking the cuffs in a locked position cuffing the grip and brake-lever, and wherein said lock button enables moving the pin plate along said “X” direction to lock and unlock the cuffs.
