摘要

A system for securing an item is disclosed. The system may include a securement device and a lock. The securement device may include an elongated member having a first end and an opposite, second end. The securement device may further include first and second brackets. A first bracket may engage the first end of the elongated member and extend to engage or bracket a first portion of the perimeter of the item. A second bracket may selectively occupy a locked position with respect to the second end of the elongated member and extend to engage or bracket a second portion of the perimeter of the item. At least one of the first and second brackets may comprise an extension engaging the item and resisting side-to-side motion between the securement device and the item.
