Abstract
An automobile tether device includes a base and a loop spanning the base and rotatable relative to the base. The base defines cutouts for receiving end segments of the loop. The loop frictionally engages the surface on which the tether device is installed to allow the loop to be positioned at elevations relative to the base.
