Anti-theft apparatus is described for use in motor vehicles which include a vacuum source (16) generating a vacuum when the vehicle engine (14) is running. The anti-theft apparatus comprises a disabling device (22) for disabling normal operation of the vehicle, a releasing device (24) for releasing the latter to permit normal operation of the vehicle, and a vacuum control device (34) which includes a manipulatable member, in the form of a removable piston-key, effective to connect the vacuum source (16) to the releasing device (24), to cause it to release the disabling device (22) and thereby to permit normal operation of the vehicle, only when the piston-key is in a preselected position in the vacuum control device (34). The disabling device (22) acts on the gearshift lever (20) locking it in its park position. In a second embodiment it acts on the fuel feed line blocking the full flow of fuel to the engine. |
