ABSTRACT:
A ground retention apparatus is provided for deterring the theft of services from an outdoor pedestal. The ground retention apparatus includes a ground stake having a first end attached to the pedestal and a second end opposite the first end for engaging the ground beneath the pedestal. The ground retention apparatus further includes a stop plate secured to the ground stake medially between the first end and the second end. The stop plate defines a hinge line separating a lower portion that is stationary and an upper portion that is movable relative to the lower portion between a first position wherein the upper portion is generally parallel to the lower portion and a second position wherein the upper portion is angled relative to the lower portion. The stop plate prevents the ground stake from being removed from the ground, thereby deterring unauthorized access to the equipment inside the pedestal.
