EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1959, we see Mr E Hart of Stepney proudly displaying his ingenious invention. Faced with the unfortunate incident of having his van stolen along with its valuable contents, Mr Hart took matters into his own hands to prevent such incidents in the future. His solution? A clever gadget that sits on the clutch pedals, effectively locking them and thwarting any would-be car thief's attempts to get the vehicle in gear. This innovative contraption has caught the attention of Scotland Yard, who are now closely examining Mr Hart's creation. The photograph captures a moment frozen in time as he confidently holds up his lock, which serves as a powerful deterrent against car thieves. The image transports us back to an era when motoring crimes were prevalent and security measures were not as advanced as they are today. It reminds us of the resourcefulness and determination displayed by individuals like Mr Hart who refused to be victims of crime. Dean's skillful photography beautifully captures both the simplicity and effectiveness of this anti-theft device. As we gaze at this snapshot from history, we can't help but appreciate how even small inventions can make a significant impact on society.
