Abstract
Abstract UNAUTHORIZED REMOVAL OF A PORTABLE ARTICLE FROM A VEHICLE IS PREVENTED BY ATTACHING THE ARTICLE TO THE VEHICLE STEERING COLUMN WITH A FLEXIBLE ELONGATED CABLE. AN ADJUSTABLY-SIZED LOOP AT ONE END OF THE CABLE ENCRICLES THE STEERING COLUMN, AND THE OTHER END OF THE CABLE IS CONNECTED TO A LOCK WHICH ENGAGES A BRACKET ON THE PORTABLE ARTICLE. THE BRACKET IS ATTACHED TO THE PORTABLE ARTICLE BY A FASTENER WHICH HAS A THREADED SHANK AND A RECESSED HEAD FOR RECEIVING A FASTENER-ROTATING TOOL. ACCESS TO THE RECESS BY A TOOL IS OBSTRUCTED BY A PIN ON THE LOCK WHICH PASSES THROUGH APETURES IN THE BRACKET.
