The anti-theft device for a vehicle is especially applicable to a motor cycle and may include a lock which blocks movement of a part of the vehicle. Such a device may include a locking peg which passes through the vehicle's brake disc (34) in order to immobilise the vehicle. The device also includes a sensor (41) which is able to detect the correct fitting of the locking device, or its removal from this position. The sensor is able to control remotely a switch acting within the electrical circuity of the vehicle- for example a disabling switch mounted in the starter motor circuit. If the lock is removed, the sensor detects this removal and acts to disable the electric circuit of the vehicle, thus providing a second defence against vehicle theft. The sensor may be a magnetic device, and optical device, or a radio frequency device. |
