A protective housing (6, 7, 8, 9) of a deformable, non-brittle material encases the components (1, 2, 3) of a conventional steering lock/ignition assembly of a motor vehicle whereby potential damage to said components (1, 2, 3) and to the relatively weak casting containing said components by a thief is significantly reduced. The housing includes a first portion (9) for location over at least the free end extent of the lock barrel (1) of the assembly to prevent axial removal of the lock barrel from the assembly, and a second portion (8) for location over the electrical switch (3) of the assembly to encase the associated wiring thereof and to prevent removal of the electrical switch (3) from the assembly. <IMAGE> |
