Abstract
An identification device for mounting on the antenna of a transport vehicle. The device is tubular and resilient, and has a central cavity for receiving the antenna. A series of spaced apart external grooves selectively accept a tie constricting the tubular device about the antenna. The device has hook and loop material attached thereto, and a corresponding patch of hook and loop material. The corresponding patch is mounted to the vehicle, for temporary stowage of the identification device when not in use. The identification device has one or more distinctive bright colors, for being conspicuous at a distance. The device is preferably employed when parking a vehicle amidst many similar vehicles, thereby enabling an owner or operator to identify the vehicle.
