A device including a first section, a second section, and a stopper means. The first section includes a first handle and a first clamp half, and the second section includes a second handle and a second clamp half. The device is useful for clamping to any area of a steering wheel to, at least substantially, inhibit unauthorized movement of the steering wheel. When the first clamp half and the second clamp half are attached to a driver-door side of the wheel-section, the device may at least substantially inhibit unauthorized entrance to the vehicle.

The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to an anti-theft device for use with a motorized vehicle, such as a riding lawn mower. The device comprises a main body defined by first and second ends. Each end of the device comprises a pair of arms, each with a distal end and a proximal end. The distal end of each arm includes an aperture sized and shaped to allow a lock or other securing element to pass therethrough. For example, with riding lawn mowers, the disclosed device can be used to lock the mower handles in an “off” position, so that the mower cannot be started until the device is removed.

A sharing management system for managing usage objects, particularly vehicles. A detection apparatus installed on the object identifies a user from a database, At least one optical and/or physical sensor detects the user and obtains optical data, and a processing unit is configured and provided to store measured values of the sensor. Data measured by the sensor are sent from the processing unit to a CPU. The CPU and/or the processing unit compares these data with corresponding values stored in or sent to the database, and, if the sensed values or corresponding value ranges match stored values, the CPU sends a release signal to a comparing device, which then releases the usage object for use, in particular wherein the CPU is installed in at least one assembly station, in particular a stationary assembly station, away from the usage object, so that the CPU can communicate wirelessly with the comparing device.
