Abstract
A device that is a simple means to secure an equipment having a threaded hole and a localizer such as a wire cable, chain or padlock. The device consists of an attachment connector having a threaded rod and attached to the attachment connector. The attachment connector includes an obstructor, which when the device is tightened in place, interferes with the equipment such that the attachment rod can not be rotated and the device removed. A localizer, such as a cable for example, attached to the attachment plate, constrains movement of the attachment plate (and the attached equipment) to be within a predetermined distance from an object other than the equipment.
