A stationary axle/wheel lock anti-theft device for positioning and encumbering vehicle axle/wheel assembly movement in X-Y-Z-axis planes. Said device includes a base, a cylindrical blocking member and a security lock assembly. A frontal wheel barrier integral to the base restricts access to the front face of the vehicle wheel rim, axle hub, wheel nuts and cylindrical blocking member. Said barrier provides a restraining bore for the cylindrical blocking member in the locked position. Wheel chocks integral to the base localizes the vehicle wheel assembly, substantially aligning the vehicle axle with the cylindrical blocking member coaxially. The cylindrical blocking member is restrained in the extended position by mechanical means and serves to protect a security lock device from tampering. The cylindrical block member obstructs forward or rearward movement once the vehicle wheel assembly makes contact.

1. A stationary axle/wheel lock anti-theft device constructed to withstand direct exposure to severe weather in an open outdoor environment that positions a vehicle axle/wheel assembly of single or multiple tire arrangements, single or multiple axle/wheel arrangements spaced between two and twelve inches apart at the closest portion of the treads of each tire, then encumbering a vehicle wheel assembly in X-Y-Z axis planes thereby preventing free rolling movement of said vehicle axle/wheel assembly thereon comprising:A) a integral base having a generally ‘L’ shaped configuration formed from concrete complete with re-enforcing bar metal for rigidity throughout providing a front barrier having a surface equal to or greater than tire diameter, a depth equal to or greater than 1.5 times diameter of wheel lug hole circle, a right wheel chock, a left wheel chock, a rear wheel chock, a solid bottom wheel support platform and mass equal to said volume filled with concrete, to localize a vehicle wheel assembly, and substantially aligning said vehicle axle assembly X-Y-Z axis planes with a retaining sleeve assembly coaxially therewith; said frontal wheel barrier which restricts access to the front face of a vehicle wheel rim, axle hub, wheel nuts and retaining sleeve assembly; and said frontal wheel barrier formed from concrete complete with re-enforcing bar metal for rigidity throughout having a surface equal to or greater than tire diameter, a depth equal to or greater than 1.5 times diameter of wheel lug hole circle and mass equal to said volume filled with concrete, to provide a restraining bore for said retaining sleeve assembly fixed in the extended position, which restricts said retaining sleeve assembly X-Z axis directional movement, to repel sufficient force applied to said vehicle axle/wheel assembly causing upward travel on ramp shaped wheel chock and contacting said retaining sleeve assembly, stopping linear movement; and said rear wheel chock which restricts said vehicle wheel assembly X-axis directional movement, formed from concrete complete with re-enforcing bar metal for rigidity throughout having a surface equal to length of said solid bottom wheel support platform and height from said solid bottom wheel support platform to under side of said vehicle axle assembly, a depth equal to or greater than said vehicle tire width and mass equal to said volume filled with concrete, to repel, and said solid bottom wheel support platform formed from concrete complete with re-enforcing bar metal for rigidity throughout having a surface equal to length of said front wheel barrier and width equal to combined widths of said frontal wheel barrier, said tire or tires, said rear wheel chock, plus clearance for a retaining sleeve stop bar assembly, a depth equal to or greater than 3 inches and a mass equal to said volume filled with concrete, allows for said tire or tires to rest on between said left and right wheel chocks to that surrounding environmental conditions are not a factor affecting said vehicle axle/wheel assembly encumbering; and said stationary axle/wheel lock anti-theft device of said mass of concrete and steel, to impede movement on a ground surface; B) said retaining sleeve assembly comprising a outer sleeve member, a inner sleeve member, stop bar pin positioning holes, sleeve spacer members and handle/guard member which occupies a wheel rims inner section wherein said axle hub and wheel nuts are located, obstructing forward or rearward motion once a vehicle wheel assembly makes contact therewith; a retaining sleeve assembly abutment surface in close proximity to a wheel rim inner section front face, limits access to said vehicle wheel assembly, said axle hub and wheel nuts; and with said retaining sleeve assembly in the extended position, said stop bar pin positioning holes are exposed between the rear face of said frontal wheel barrier and said wheel rim inner section front face allowing said retaining sleeve stop bar assembly stop bar pin to be inserted fully through said stop bar pin positioning holes; and with said stop bar pin positioning holes provided in said retaining sleeve assembly so close proximity of said retaining sleeve assembly abutment surface to said wheel rim inner section front face substantially closes any gap between said surfaces; and with said retaining sleeve assembly fixed in the extended position, said retaining sleeve assembly handle/guard opening end is shrouded by said frontal wheel barrier; and said retaining sleeve assembly which houses a security lock device within its interior; and said retaining sleeve assembly handle/guard member which restricts the access way into said retaining sleeve assembly interior allowing only said security lock device and one hand to pass through, and said retaining sleeve assembly, with said handle/guard member limits direct weather exposure to said security lock device; and with said retaining sleeve assembly fixed in the extended position, said vehicle wheel assembly and said stationary axle/wheel lock anti-theft device of said surface, depth and mass to withstand dragging without breakup, become one large unsprung weight creating a non-rotating anchor; and said retaining sleeve assembly joggled by said vehicle wheel assembly will jam within said frontal wheel barrier guide way and said retaining sleeve assembly; C) said retaining sleeve stop bar assembly comprising a stop bar bin, a primary casing, a primary concrete barrier, a secondary casing, a secondary concrete barrier, a 120 degree guard plate and end cap therewith; said retaining sleeve stop bar assembly which is of a simple locking or unlocking operation, is connected by mechanical means to said security lock device of a suitable well known shaft unit; and said retaining sleeve stop bar assembly primary casing and secondary casing profile encompass 72 degrees of said retaining sleeve assembly, obstructing access to said stop bar pin positioning holes and said retaining sleeve stop bar assembly stop bar pin; and said retaining sleeve stop bar assembly is restrained by said security lock device, said retaining sleeve assembly is restrained by said retaining sleeve stop bar assembly, said vehicle wheel assembly is restrained by said retaining sleeve assembly; D) a wheel height spacer formed from concrete and shaped to fit between said left and right inner ramps of wheel chocks, said solid bottom support platform, said inner face of frontal barrier and said inner face of rear wheel chock to localize vehicle wheel assembly therewith, said wheel height spacer is placed between said solid bottom support platform and said tire or tires substantially aligning said vehicle axle with said retaining sleeve assembly coaxially; and a wheel height spacers of different thickness allows this stationary axle/wheel lock anti-theft device to be used with various wheel diameters so different vehicles take advantage of its utility. 2. A stationary axle/wheel lock anti-theft device as recited in claim 1, wherein said vehicle axle/wheel assembly having an axle hub that extends beyond said wheel rim inner section frontal face, an extended said retaining sleeve assembly abutment substantially encircles said hub adding to movement restriction.
