A locking device comprises a locking plate having a first aperture to receive a cable lock, a second aperture having a slot extending therefrom, and a flat attachment cable having one end fixedly attached to the locking plate which is sized to be insertable into the second aperture for subsequent positioning in the slot. Cable crimps on the attachment cable have a width greater than the width of the slot. A locking device is provided which prevents movement of the cable crimps through the aperture when placed in a locked position. In use, the locking device is placed in an unlocked position, and the flat attachment cable is wrapped around an item to be locked and then inserted into the second aperture such that a cable crimp passes through the second aperture and the attachment cable is transversed for placement into the slot, and the locking device is then locked.

I claim: 1. An accessory locking device comprising: a locking plate having a first aperture sized to receive an elongated flexible securement means securable to a stationary object and a second aperture having an elongated slot extending therefrom, said slot having a width; at least one attachment cable having a proximal end permanently attached to said locking plate and a distal end extending therefrom, said attachment cable comprising at least two steel cords in a spaced apart parallel arrangement encased in a unitary flexible plastic casing extending between said proximal end and said distal end, said flexible plastic casing having a substantially flat configuration and having a width less than said width of said slot and sized to be freely positionable in said slot; said at least one attachment cable including at least one locking lug attached thereto wherein said locking lug is sized for closely aligned insertion into said second aperture; said at least one attachment cable further including at least one cable crimp attached thereto sized for closely aligned insertion into said second aperture and having a width greater than said width of said slot, and locking means selectively insertable into said second aperture and movable between locked and unlocked positions, said locking means including a locking member configured to prevent movement of said at least one locking lug through said second aperture when said locking means is in said locked position; whereby said locking means is placed in an unlocked position, and said distal end of said at least one attachment cable is wrapped around an item to be locked and inserted into said second aperture and said at least one attachment cable is transversed for placement into said slot, whereupon said locking member of said locking means is placed in said locked position thus preventing the withdrawal of said locking lug from said second aperture, and a flexible elongated securement means is inserted through said first aperture and secured using a locking means to prevent removal of said locking plate from said securement means and said securement means secured to a stationary structure, thereby locking the item to the stationary structure. 2. The accessory locking device of claim 1, wherein said locking means is a key-operated tumbler lock tangentially adjacent said second aperture, and said locking member is a coaxial bolt member operatively associated with said tumbler lock wherein said bolt member extends into said second aperture in said locked position. 3. The accessory locking device of claim 1, wherein said locking means is a conventional padlock, and said locking member is a shackle bar of said padlock wherein said shackle bar is insertable through said second aperture. 4. The accessory locking device of claim 1, wherein said locking lug is positioned at the distal end of said attachment cable. 5. The accessory locking device of claim 4, wherein said locking lug is formed as a handle whereby said handle facilitates grasping the flexible cable and positioning thereof. 6. The accessory locking device of claim 1, wherein said locking plate is a steel plate. 7. The accessory locking device of claim 1, wherein said at least one attachment cable comprises a plurality of cables. 8. The accessory locking device of claim 1, wherein said steel cords comprise multi-stranded galvanized steel wire. 9. The accessory locking device of claim 1, wherein said plastic casing is extruded polyvinyl chloride (PVC). 10. The accessory locking device of claim 1, wherein said plastic casing is extruded into a rectangular shape. 11. The accessory locking device of claim 1, wherein said plastic casing is extruded into a flattened oval shape. 12. The accessory locking device of claim 1, wherein said locking plate is encased in molded plastic. 13. The accessory locking device of claim 1, further comprising said flexible elongated securement means having a first end forming a lockable insertion end and a second end forming an attachment end, said lockable insertion end having an aperture receptive to the shackle bar of a padlock, said attachment end having a attachment aperture whereby said flexible securement means can be fixedly secured to a stationary structure. 14. An accessory locking device comprising: a locking plate having an aperture therein, said aperture having an elongated slot extending therefrom having a width; at least one attachment cable having a width less than said width of said slot and sized to be freely positionable in said slot, said at least one attachment cable having a proximal end permanently attached to said locking plate and a distal end extending therefrom wherein said distal end includes an insertion aperture therein adapted to receive the shackle bar of a padlock; said at least one attachment cable further including a plurality of cable crimps attached thereto sized for closely aligned insertion in to said aperture and having a width greater than said width of said slot, a locking means insertable into said aperture configured to obstruct a portion of said aperture in a locked position; and a padlock having a shackle bar insertable into said aperture of said distal end; whereby said at least one attachment cable is wrapped around an item to be locked and said distal end is inserted into said aperture of said locking plate and said cable is tightened around said item, and said at least one attachment cable is transversed for placement into said slot, whereupon said locking means is placed in said locked position thus preventing the withdrawal of said cable from said slot, and said padlock is locked to said distal end. 15. The accessory locking device of claim 14, wherein said attachment cable comprises at least two steel cords in a spaced apart parallel arrangement encased in a flexible plastic casing, said flexible plastic casing having a substantially flat configuration. 16. The accessory locking device of claim 14, wherein said locking means is a key-operated tumbler lock tangentially adjacent said aperture, said tumbler lock including a coaxial bolt member operatively associated with said tumbler lock wherein said bolt member extends into said aperture in said locked position. 17. The accessory locking device of claim 14, wherein said locking means is a conventional padlock having a shackle bar insertable through said aperture. 18. The accessory locking device of claim 14, wherein said locking means is a length of steel cable insertable through said aperture. 19. The accessory locking device of claim 14, wherein said locking plate is a steel plate. 20. The accessory locking device of claim 15, wherein said steel cords comprise multi-stranded galvanized steel wire. 21. The accessory locking device of claim 15, wherein said plastic casing is extruded polyvinyl chloride (PVC). 22. The accessory locking device of claim 15, wherein said plastic casing is extruded into a rectangular shape. 23. The accessory locking device of claim 15, wherein said plastic casing is extruded into a flattened oval shape. 24. The accessory locking device of claim 14, wherein said locking plate is encased in molded plastic. 25. The accessory locking device of claim 14, wherein said at least one attachment cable comprises a plurality of cables.
