The package locking system comprises a box, a bag, a cable, and a lock. The box may comprise four side walls, a bottom, and a hinged lid and may mount to a building. Mail may be left inside the box for delivery. The bag, the cable, and the lock may be located inside of the box and may be used to accept delivery of one or more packages. The cable may pass through a casing around a package aperture on the bag. The ends of the cable may pass through the lock and may be coupled to the box. A package may be placed into the bag and the lock may be slid towards the bag to gather the material of the bag around the package aperture. An internal mechanism of the lock may prevent the lock from sliding away from the bag unless released by a key.

The package locking system according to claim 1wherein the bag is a container composed of a flexible material;wherein the bag has a package aperture through which the one or more packages are placed into and removed from the bag. 3. The package locking system according to claim 2wherein the bag comprises a casing;wherein the casing is a hem that surrounds the package aperture and through which the cable passes;wherein the cable enters and exits the casing at one or more cable apertures;wherein the size of the package aperture is reduced by pulling the cable to withdraw a portion of the cable from the casing;wherein as the cable is withdrawn, the casing gathers, thus reducing the size of the package aperture. 4. The package locking system according to claim 3wherein the cable is a wire rope that retains the bag to the box;wherein the cable is nylon coated;wherein the cable forms a loop that passes through the lock twice and that passes through the bag. 5. The package locking system according to claim 4wherein the lock comprises a body, a first lock aperture, a second lock aperture, an internal mechanism, and a key hole;wherein the body is a metal enclosure for the internal mechanism of the lock. 6. The package locking system according to claim 5wherein the first lock aperture and the second lock aperture each pass through the lock from one surface of the lock to the opposing surface of the lock;wherein the lock is placed into an unlocked state or into a locked state by placing a key into the key hole and turning the key;wherein in the unlocked state, the lock permits itself to be moved freely along the cable in either direction;wherein in the locked state, the lock prevents itself from sliding along the cable in a direction that is towards the box. 7. The package locking system according to claim 6wherein the internal mechanism comprises a plug, a keyway, a plurality of pins, a cam, and one or more locking bars;wherein the plug is a cylinder within the body that is free to rotate within the body and is prevented from falling out of the body;wherein the keyway is a slot protruding into the center of the plug which accepts the key;wherein turning the key while the key is inserted into the keyway causes the plug to rotate;wherein the plurality of pins are spring-loaded shafts that protrude from the side of the body into the plug. 8. The package locking system according to claim 7wherein the plurality of pins press against cuts in the key when the key is inserted into the keyway and, based upon the height of the cuts, the plurality of pins are pressed into the body of the lock by varying distances;wherein the plurality of pins permit rotation of the plug if they all align at a shear line and prevent rotation of the plug if even one of the plurality of pins does not align at the shear line;wherein the shear line is the boundary between the plug and the body;wherein the plurality of pins vary in length and the length of the plurality of pins is selected to match a specific one of the keys, or vice versa. 9. The package locking system according to claim 8wherein each of the plurality of pins comprise a top pin and a bottom pin;wherein the top pin resides within the body and the bottom pin resides within the plug;wherein the top pin and the bottom pin are pushed towards each other by springs in the body and by the cuts on the key;wherein the plug rotates only when the boundary between the top pin and the bottom pin aligns at the shear line between the plug and the body;wherein the key that is inserted must have a specific pattern of the cuts in order to align all of the plurality of pins at the shear line and allow the plug to be turned. 10. The package locking system according to claim 8wherein the cam is a bar-shaped protrusion at the longitudinal end of the plug that is inside of the body;wherein the cam pushes the one or more locking bars away from the center of the lock when the plug is turned to place the lock in the locked state and allows the one or more locking bars to retract towards the center of the lock when the plug is turned to place the lock in the unlocked state. 11.
