Abstract
A locking mechanism utilizing a cable in which the cable has been flattened so as to give it an oval or flattened shape and wherein an orifice into which the cable is inserted for one way motion is flattened so as to prevent the cable from being twisted or turned thus preventing the cable from being removed from the locking device. In certain embodiments the locking device may, when in the locked position, have a loop of cable extending from it and in another embodiment a cable with a flag attached thereon may be used with the locking device.
