Abstract:

The present invention is a ground anchor security system for securing valuables and other items to the earth where they might otherwise be exposed. It includes an auger-type ground anchor having an elongated shaft with a top end and a bottom end, the anchor having a helical auger plate at its bottom end and having a connector to connect a cross-member at its top end, a container and a cross-member. The cross-member is one which is connectible to the top end of the anchor with the connector, the cross-member having a length which is greater than the largest dimension of the opening in the bottom of the container. The cross-member may be of sufficient length to be grasped manually when connected to the connector for facilitating insertion of the anchor into ground, and the container may be a trunk with a top lid. It may have at least one handle located on a side and at least one set of wheels located at its bottom away from the handle. In one embodiment, at least a portion of the anchor is hollow including at the top end of the anchor, and is adapted to receive a staff of a beach umbrella.
