An automobile theft prevention system in which an electrical ignition circuit includes a switch mechanism for opening and closing the circuit, and a switch-actuating mechanism that interconnects an ignition lock with the switch mechanism for closing the circuit when a first set of selected cams of the ignition lock are rotated, and for opening the circuit when any one of a second set of selected cams of the ignition lock is rotated. The switch-actuating mechanism includes a first set of flexible cables connecting the switch mechanism with a first set of selected cams, and a second set of flexible cables connecting the switch mechanism with a second set of selected cams. The system further has a hood lock mechanism including a hood lock. The switch-actuating mechanism interconnects the ignition lock and the hood lock mechanism for enabling the opening of the hood lock when the first set of selected cams are rotated and precludes opening of the hood lock when any one of the second set of selected cams is rotated. |
