1. A storage device for supporting each of a scooter and a skateboard, each of said scooter and said skateboard comprising at least a pair of spaced apart wheel assemblies and a deck portion at least partially extending between said wheel assemblies, each of said deck portions of said scooter and said skateboard having a foot support surface, said storage device comprising: a first portion defining a mounting surface; a second portion defining a first surface being non-removable and non-adjustable with respect to said mounting surface, at least a portion of said first surface being spaced from said mounting surface; a third portion defining a second surface spaced from said first surface, said first surface and said second surface being substantially parallel to one another; and wherein said first surface and said second surface define a first space therebetween, said first space being configured to non-frictionally receive said deck portion of said scooter, such that said foot support surface is substantially parallel to said first and second surfaces, and prevent said wheel assemblies of said scooter from passing therethrough, said first surface and said second surface additionally defining a second space therebetween, said second space being configured to non-frictionally receive said deck portion of said skateboard, such that said foot support surface is substantially parallel to said first and second surfaces, and prevent said wheel assemblies of said skateboard from passing therethrough. 2. The storage device of claim 1, wherein said first space and said second space are at least partially coextensive. 3. The storage device of claim 1, wherein said first portion and said second portion form a unitary structure. 4. The storage device of claim 1, wherein said third portion is configured to be securable in a fixed position with respect to said first portion. 5. The storage device of claim 4, wherein said third portion is pivotally connected to said first portion for movement between an open position and a closed position. 6. The storage device of claim 5, wherein said first portion additionally comprises a tab having an aperture therethrough, said third portion also including an aperture, said apertures being configured to align with each other when said third portion is in said closed position, said apertures being configured to receive a padlock for securing said third portion in said closed position. 7. The storage device of claim 6, wherein said tab is unitarily formed with said first portion. 8. The storage device of claim 1, wherein said second portion defines an upper surface and a lower surface, said upper surface being spaced from said lower surface thereby defining a vertical height of said first space, said vertical height being configured to support said scooter in a substantially vertical orientation. 9. The storage device of claim 1, wherein the first, second and third portions define a generally C-shaped horizontal cross section.
