Abstract

A storage rack particularly suited for the secure temporary deposit of golf bags or other large and/or cumbersome items. The rack includes one or more cages or compartments with a moveable lid or cover at the top thereof. In addition to closing the upper portion of the cage, the lid includes a coin-operated locking mechanism. The locking mechanism includes a key which is obtained by inserting coins therein. At a minimum, the lid and cage sufficiently restrain a golf bag to prevent the bag and/or the contents thereof, especially the golf clubs, from being removed except by the holder of the key. Additional enclosing walls, bars or platforms can be selectively added to the cage for additional security.
