1. A device in combination with a furniture having a drawer, for securing closed a drawer of a furniture, including: a) the furniture including a frame and a drawer disposed within a drawer opening in a closed position, the frame including a front face, a top member and a top rail that extends downward from the top member and has an inner surface and a bottom face, and the drawer including a front face wall having a top edge, wherein the front face wall of the drawer is substantially flush with the front face of the frame, and the top edge of the front face wall of the drawer confronts the bottom face of the top rail when the drawer is in the closed position, to define a gap between the top edge of the front face wall of the drawer and the bottom face of the top rail, andb) the device including: i) a securable base member having an inner surface including an adhesive layer that adheres to the inner surface of the top rail, and an outer surface including a first mechanical fastener material, the securable base member being inaccessible when secured when the drawer is closed within the drawer opening of the frame, andii) an extending member including an attaching end portion having an inner surface that includes a second mechanical fastener material that mechanically attaches releasably to the first mechanical fastener material of the base member, and a locking end portion that is configured to extend exteriorly through the drawer opening and the gap between the drawer and the frame, the locking end portion including a locking means for preventing the drawer, when closed, from opening within the drawer opening, wherein the attaching end portion comprises a first planar portion that is substantially rectangular with opposed long edges and opposed short edges, and the locking end portion comprises a second planar portion that is substantially rectangular with opposed long edges and opposed short edges, wherein the second planar portion is oriented in a horizontal plane and the first planar portion is oriented in a vertical plane, wherein the second planar portion extends at a short edge from the middle of a long edge of the first planar portion, and wherein the opposed long edges of the first planar portion extend laterally beyond the opposed long edges of the second planar portion;wherein the device is not built into or integral with the drawer or the frame of the furniture. 2. The combination according to claim 1, wherein the locking means includes at least one hole through the locking end portion, and a shackle of a padlock that can be inserted through the at least one hole. 3. The combination according to claim 2, wherein the locking means includes a plurality of holes arranged in a crisscrossing pattern. 4. The combination according to claim 1, wherein the locking means includes a plurality of lock engaging elements along at least one edge of the locking end portion, and a lock member having a transverse slot through which the locking end portion extends, the lock member securing to one or more of the plurality of lock engaging elements. 5. The combination according to claim 1, further including a shield positionable inboard of the locking means along the locking end portion, the shield having one or more slot openings through which the locking end portion can extend. 6. The combination according to claim 5, wherein the shield is a plate. 7. The combination according to claim 6 wherein the shield comprises a generally horizontal portion and an angled planar portion extending downward from one end of the horizontal portion, substantially perpendicularly. 8. The combination according to claim 1, wherein the first planar portion and the second planar portion comprise a unitary plate. 9. The combination according to claim 1, wherein the extending member of the device can be detached from the base member after a use, and re-attached to the base member for a next use.
