- 21. A vehicle security device for protecting a steering wheel rim comprising a substantially circular protective face plate and connection means for connecting said face plate to said steering wheel rim, said face plate having a diameter at least as large as the diameter of said rim, formed of a cut resistant material, including two openings and a flange attached to a peripheral edge of said face plate, said two openings spaced substantially diametrically apart and both openings positioned adjacent to and substantially equal distances from the peripheral edge of said face plate, and said flange attached to substantially the complete peripheral edge of said face plate and coveting at least a part of an outer surface of said rim when said face plate is placed onto said rim, said connection means including a pair of telescopically engaging rod members, hook means on each rod member for attaching said rod members to said rim and a locking mechanism for locking said rod members in at least one position.
- 23. A vehicle security device for protecting a steering wheel rim comprising a steering wheel cover and connection means for securing said steering wheel cover to said steering wheel rim, said steering wheel cover comprising a protective face plate formed of a cut resistant material and designed to overlie at least a majority of a front face of said steering wheel rim, said face plate including at least two openings and at least one flange attached to a peripheral edge of said face plate, said at least one flange designed to cover at least a part of an outer surface of said steering wheel rim when said face plate is positioned onto said steering wheel rim, each of said at least two openings positioned on said face plate such that each opening is at least closely adjacent to said steering wheel rim when said face plate is positioned onto said steering wheel rim, said connection means including lock means and elongated means, said lock means adapted for locking said steering wheel cover in substantially a fixed position on said steering wheel rim and including at least two hook means, each of said hook means adapted to extend through at least one of said openings in said face plate and at least closely engage at least a portion of said steering wheel rim, and said elongated means adapted for preventing full rotation of said steering wheel rim when said connection means is securing said steering wheel cover to said steering wheel rim.
