Abstract

A durable, versatile and economical device for securing and protecting bicycles, motorcycles, personal watercraft, snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles and the like (10). The device comprises a shell or lid (20) attached to a base (60). Alternatively, the shell can be secured to the floor, ground or wall without a base structure. The shell can be lifted around a pivot point (22) to access the vehicle and lowered to secure it. When closed in the down position, the shell can be locked to the frame, completely securing and encapsulating the vehicle. The preferred plastic shell is an economical and durable cover, particularly when crime and vandalism is an issue.
