Abstract
A portable safe () includes a safe body () and cover () that are selectively coupled with a locking mechanism (). The safe cover () is permanently affixed to a tether () having a loop () at one end that is sized to allow the safe cover () to pass through but does not admit the safe body (). Thus, the safe cover () can be installed on a fixed object by looping the tether () around the object, passing the safe cover () through the loop (), and cinching the cover () to the fixed object. The safe body () can then be locked to the safe cover ().
