The locking device of claim 1, wherein the second side wall comprises a second circular opening identical to the first circular opening, and a second L-shaped opening identical to the first L-shaped opening. 3. The locking device of claim 1, wherein means for unlocking and locking a second cable end at a first locking portion of the lock is activated by a key and the second side wall comprises an opening providing access for the key to the lock. 4. The locking device of claim 1, further comprising a third side wall and a fourth side wall. 5. A locking device for adding security to an item locked by a lock having a cable, the locking device comprising: a housing configured to receive the lock by having a rectangular shape substantially similar to the lock, the housing comprising:an open top; a floor having a plurality of mounting holes, each one of the plurality of mounting holes configured for receiving a means for securing the housing to a surface;a first side wall having a first top wall end, and a plurality of openings; anda second side wall having a second top wall end, the second side wall being opposite of the first side wall;the first side wall and the second side wall extending perpendicularly from the floor;the plurality of openings being configured to receive a first cable end and a second cable end of the cable when the housing receives the lock by having: means for receiving the first cable end through the first top wall end into the housing and thus receiving the lock into the housing;means for restricting a movement of the first cable end out of the housing when means for unlocking and locking the second cable end into a first locking portion of the lock is engaged into a locked state;means for receiving a third cable end through the second top wall end;means for restricting a movement of the third cable end out of the housing when means for unlocking and locking a fourth cable end into a second locking portion of the lock is engaged into a locked state;a first circular opening inaccessible from the first top wall end and aligned with the first locking portion when the housing receives the lock; anda second circular opening inaccessible from the second top wall end and aligned with the second locking portion when the housing receives the lock. 6. The locking device of claim 5, wherein the means for unlocking and locking the second cable end into a first locking portion of the lock is activated by a key and the second side wall comprises an opening providing access for the key to the lock. 7. The locking device of claim 5, further comprising a third side wall and a fourth side wall. 8. A method of securing an item locked by a lock having a cable, wherein the cable has a first cable end associated with the lock at a first cable attachment point of the lock, and wherein the lock has means for unlocking and locking a second cable end at a first locking portion of the lock, using a locking device comprising: a housing configured to receive the lock by having a rectangular shape substantially similar to the lock, the housing comprising:an open top; a floor having a plurality of mounting holes, each one of the plurality of mounting holes configured for receiving a means for securing the housing to a surface;a first side wall having a first top wall end, and a plurality of openings; anda second side wall opposite of the first side wall;the first side wall and the second side wall extending perpendicularly from the floor;the plurality of openings being configured to receive the first cable end and the second cable end when the lock is received by the housing by having: a first L-shaped opening, wherein a vertical portion of the first L-shaped opening is a cutout on the first top wall end, anda horizontal portion of the first L-shaped opening, the horizontal portion being inaccessible from the first top wall end such that a vertical movement of the first cable end is restricted when the horizontal portion receives the first cable end; anda first circular opening inaccessible from the first top wall end, and aligned with the locking portion when the housing receives the lock;wherein the housing receives the lock by receiving the first cable end into the vertical portion of the first L-shaped opening and then further into the horizontal portion of the first L-shaped opening, such that the first cable attachment point is aligned with the horizontal portion and the lock rests on the floor, and thus restricts access to the plurality of mounting holes; andsuch that security to the item is added when the cable is threaded through the item and the second cable end is received by the first lock opening through the first circular opening and the second cable end is locked into the lock, thus preventing a removal of the lock from the housing;the method comprising the steps of: inserting a bolt of a plurality of bolts into each one of the plurality of mounting holes;securing the plurality of bolts to the surface;mounting the housing to the surface;disengaging the second cable end from the lock;inserting the first cable end into the vertical portion;sliding the first cable end into the horizontal portion;threading the second cable end of the cable through the item;inserting the second cable end into the first lock opening through the first circular opening; andengaging the lock to secure the second cable end into the lock. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the second side wall comprises a second circular opening identical to the first circular opening, and a second L-shaped opening identical to the first L-shaped opening; and wherein: the cable further comprises a third cable end and fourth cable end; andthe lock is associated with the third cable end at a second cable attachment point on the lock; andthe lock is further configured to receive the fourth cable end through a second lock opening on the lock. 10. The method of claim 9, further comprising the steps of: disengaging the fourth cable end from the lock;inserting the first cable end into a second L-shaped opening vertical portion;sliding the first cable end into a second L-shaped opening horizontal portion;threading the fourth cable end of the cable through the item or through a second item;inserting the fourth cable end into the second lock opening through the second circular opening; andengaging the lock to secure the fourth cable end into the lock. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the engaging the lock to secure the second cable end into the lock step is performed by actuating a key into the lock. 12. The method of claim 9, wherein the engaging the lock to secure the second cable end into the lock step is performed by actuating a combination dial on the lock. 13.
