An anti-theft device for securing a lap top computer to a support member, the device having a rigid securing member. The rigid securing member has a back, side and front restraining members defining an elongate opening dimensioned to slidably receive a monitor of the lap top computer therethrough when the computer is in the open position. The device further includes a locking assembly having a first part rigidly coupled to the securing member and a second part which can be anchored to the support member, the first and second parts being movable together into a securing position to clamp the lap top computer to the support member, and apart into a release position to allow the lap top computer to be removed. A second securing member is provided to secure the lap top in the closed position.

1. An anti-theft device for securing a lap top computer to a support member, the lap top computer having a first portion at second portion pivotally connected together for movement between an open position in which the first portion extends at an angle from the second portion, and a closed position in which the first portion and second portion are substantially parallel to and adjacent to each other, the device comprisinga rigid securing member having back, side and front restraining members defining an elongate opening dimensioned to slidably receive the first portion therethrough; and a locking assembly having a first part rigidly coupled to said securing member and a second part adapted to be anchored to the support member, said first and second parts being movable together into a securing position, and apart into a release position; wherein, when a lap top computer is positioned on the support member in an open position with the first portion extending through the elongate opening and the locking assembly is moved to the securing position, the second portion is confined between the securing member and the support member and the first portion is confined within said elongate opening to prevent removal of the lap top from said support member, and when the locking assembly is moved to the release position, the securing member is spaced from the support member a distance which allows the lap top computer to be removed from the support member.
