Abstract
Abstract This is a cable lock particularly designed to facilitate locking motorcycles, bicycles, snowmobiles and outboard motors to a post or tree to prevent theft and includes an elongated cable and a pair of mating block sections with means for securely locking the same around the cable to form a positively locked loop, the dimensions of the lock sections, when in locked position, being greater than the jaw opening of conventional bolt cutters and the cable being of a material not susceptible to being cut with such cutters.
