The BrakeLok: Simplistic Theft Protection

Instead of all the other companies in the anti-theft world that try to create more and more elaborate devices to protect your car every day, Yanko Design has come up with a damn good alternative: just put on the brake!



The BrakeLok fits over your already existing hand brake and covers the button on the end. It will let you press the button still when in normal use. But, at any time, at the end of the BrakeLok is a key, which can be taken out. If the key is not in the BrakeLok, there is no way of pressing the brake release button, or even taking the BrakeLok off, essentially rendering the car immovable.

As with all theft protection devices, a good thief can get around it. And that rule applies to the BrakeLok as well, but still, adding more protection to your $1,500,000 Enzo is never going to hurt.
