A portable housing device for protectively enclosing the steering wheel and driver's side airbag of an automotive vehicle to prevent theft. The device includes a plurality of sections sharing a common axis member. One section is fixedly connected to the axis member, which serves as a pivot point around which each remaining section may be rotated. An integral keyless locking mechanism is included to automatically secure the device once it has been installed on a steering wheel by fixedly connecting each rotatable section to the axis member. The size of the device is substantially reduced for storage purposes by selectively varying the dimensions of each section and by locating the axis member so that each rotatable section is pivotable in a concentric arc around it to a single nested position including the fixedly connected section. Certain embodiments include an interference bar member, an electronic alarm system, or both, to enhance the anti-theft capability of the device. |
