Anti-theft locking device for securing a wheel medallion to the wheel of a vehicle. The device is utilized with a conventional wheel medallion of the type having spring retainers that protrude from the body of the medallion and extend through an opening at the hub of the wheel. Further, the spring retainers have clips that are configured to pass through the opening and abut the surface of the wheel that is opposite to the body of the medallion. A medallion locking disk is provided that is larger than the opening and which will not pass through the opening. The disk has blades which, in the unlocked condition, fit within the confines of the spring retainers and extend between adjacent clips. In the locked condition, the blades are positioned within the clips to hold the clips in an outward position abutting the surface of the wheel. Thus, the clips are prevented from passing through the opening and the medallion is locked to the wheel.
