Abstract

An antiremoval device for a locking mechanism for a steering column lock for motor vehicles is disclosed. A fastening member extending through releasably connected housing parts, which prevent tampering with the locking parts, engages additionally into a displaceable catch of the locking parts when the catch is in a locking position with the steering column to thereby prevent the fastening member from being moved to a position releasing the housing parts.
