ABSTRACT:
A lockable container is disclosed in combination with a U-shaped bicycle lock. The lock has a rigid U-shaped portion in which the open end is spanned by a rigid locking bar. The container comprises a body and a cap, both with channels thereon, which receive the parallel arms of the U-shaped portion and the locking bar therein. When the lock is locked, the cap cannot be removed from the container, so articles left therein are safe. A space between the bight of the U-shaped portion and the bottom of the container can be used to securely attach the combination to a suitably shaped permanent fixture.
