A securement device is provided to secure a portable item from unauthorized movement or theft. A first bracket engages a first portion of the item, second bracket engages a second portion of the item, and an elongated member spans the portable item to attach the first bracket to the second bracket to prevent significant separation of the first and second brackets when in the secured configuration. An aperture or recess in the second bracket receives a plug or attached device, where the plug or attached device is plugged into a receptacle in the item. When the attached device or plug is situated within the aperture or recess in the first bracket and the first bracket is engaged to the item, the first bracket is prevented from lateral and rotational movement relative to the item. A lock may be attached to the securement device to secure the item to an anchor.

1. A securement device for securing an item having a first portion and a second portion, the item having a receptacle on the first portion for receiving in electrical contact a plug, the securement device comprising: a first bracket having a wall with a plug aperture formed through the wall, a plug
1. A securement device for securing an item having a first portion and a second portion, the item having a receptacle on the first portion for receiving in electrical contact a plug, the securement device comprising: a first bracket having a wall with a plug aperture formed through the wall, a plug blocking portion being located about at least a portion of a perimeter of the plug aperture, the first bracket having a bracket portion adjacent to the wall;a second bracket; anda connecting member for selectively connecting the first bracket to the second bracket;wherein, in a secured configuration, the plug is inserted into the receptacle, the first bracket is engaged with the first portion and the second bracket is engaged with the second portion, the connecting member extends across the item to connect the first bracket to the second bracket, the connecting member preventing substantial separation of the first bracket from the second bracket;and wherein the plug is prevented from being fully retracted from the receptacle due to being blocked by the plug blocking portion;and wherein the bracket portion is configured to contact the first portion of the item when in the secured configuration to substantially inhibit rotational movement of the first bracket relative to receptacle on the item. 2. The securement device of claim 1, wherein the bracket portion is at least one of a top wall and a bottom wall. 3. The securement device of claim 2, wherein the bracket portion comprises the top wall and the bottom wall, the wall spanning between the top wall and the bottom wall and at least one of the top wall and the bottom wall contacts the first portion of the item when in the secured configuration to substantially inhibit rotational movement of the first bracket relative to receptacle on the item. 4. The securement device of claim 3, wherein the plug aperture has a perimeter edge, the perimeter edge being at an acute angle relative to at least one of the top wall and the bottom wall. 5. The securement device of claim 3, wherein the plug aperture has a perimeter edge, the perimeter edge being at a right angle relative to at least one of the top wall and the bottom wall. 6. The securement device of claim 3, wherein a left side wall is opposite a right side wall and both the left side wall and the right side wall are adjacent to each of the top wall, the bottom wall, and the wall, a cavity being defined by the top wall, bottom wall, wall, left side wall, and the right side wall. 7. The securement device of claim 6, wherein the cavity provides clearance for a plug body of the plug when in the secured configuration, at least one of the top wall, bottom wall, left side wall, and the right side wall substantially inhibiting lateral movement of the first bracket relative to the item. 8. The securement device of claim 6, wherein a cord extends from the plug and extends through plug aperture when in the secured configuration, a second plug being connected to a distal end of the cord, the second plug being smaller in size than the plug, the aperture being sufficiently sized to insert the second plug through the aperture, the aperture being insufficiently sized to insert the plug through the aperture, such that the plug cannot be inserted through the aperture. 9. The securement device of claim 1, wherein the plug blocking portion is a protrusion extending into the plug aperture from the perimeter. 10. The securement device of claim 1, wherein the plug blocking portion is a perimeter edge of the plug aperture. 11. A securement device for securing an item having a first portion and a second portion, the item having a receptacle on the first portion for receiving in electrical contact a plug with a plug body, the securement device comprising: a first bracket having a wall with an inner surface and a plug recess formed on the inner surface, the plug recess having a bottom, the first bracket having a bracket portion adjacent to the wall;a second bracket; anda connecting member for selectively connecting the first bracket to the second bracket;wherein, in a secured configuration, the plug is inserted into the receptacle, the first bracket is engaged with the first portion and the second bracket is engaged with the second portion, the connecting member extends across the item to connect the first bracket to the second bracket, the connecting member preventing substantial separation of the first bracket from the second bracket;and wherein the plug body is received within the plug recess in the secured configuration and is prevented from being fully retracted from the receptacle due to being blocked by the plug bottom;and wherein the bracket portion is configured to contact the first portion of the item when in the secured configuration to substantially inhibit rotational movement of the first bracket relative to receptacle on the item. 12. The securement device of claim 11, wherein the plug recess closely surrounds the plug body and substantially inhibits lateral movement of the first bracket relative to the item. 13. The securement device of claim 11, wherein the first portion of the item is a first edge and the second portion of the item is second edge opposite the first edge. 14. The securement device of claim 1, wherein the first portion of the item is a first edge and the second portion of the item is second edge opposite the first edge. 15. A securement device for securing an item having a first portion and a second portion, the item having a cavity on the first portion, the securement device comprising: a first bracket having a body with an extension extending from the body;a second bracket; anda connecting member for selectively connecting the first bracket to the second bracket;wherein, in a secured configuration, the first bracket is engaged with the first portion with the extension inserted within the cavity of the item, the second bracket is engaged with the second portion, the connecting member extends across the item to connect the first bracket to the second bracket, the connecting member preventing substantial separation of the first bracket from the second bracket;and wherein the extension is received within the cavity in the secured configuration and is prevented from being fully retracted from the cavity due to the connecting member preventing separation of the first bracket and the second bracket. 16. The securement device of claim 15, wherein the extension is separable from the body of the first bracket and is received within one of an aperture or a recess. 17. The securement device of claim 16, wherein the extension is prevented from separating from the first bracket while in the secured configuration due to being blocked by a blocking portion on the first bracket.
