ABSTRACT:
Security box apparatus is adapted for use with a conventional license plate mounting structure of a vehicle which includes a plurality of spaced apart installation holes. The security box apparatus is adapted to affix a license plate thereto to secure a protected item and comprises a housing member, a door, a locking structure and a license plate mounting assembly. The housing member is provided with a plurality of anchoring holes alignable with the installation holes so that a mounting fastener may extend through these holes to securely fasten the housing member to the license plate mounting structure. A recess is formed in the housing member and the door is sized and adapted to be received in this recess to enclose the interior and the protected item. The door is movable between a closed position wherein access to the interior is prevented and an opened position wherein access to the protected item is permitted. The locking structure has a secured state to latch the door to the recess in the closed position and a non-secured state whereby the door is movable from the closed position to the opened position. The license plate mounting assembly is disposed on the housing member and is for attaching the license plate to the housing member in a mounted position wherein the license plate conceals the door from view.
