    Abstract: The sports board lockbox provides temporary secure storage for skateboards and/or snowboards. The lockbox includes a back wall with an overhanging roof. A plurality of securing arm pairs and corresponding stabilizing arm pairs extend forwardly from the back wall. Each arm pair defines a sports board-retaining slot. One of the securing arms has a hasp pivotally extending therefrom, the corresponding securing arm having a lock passage therethrough. The sports board is placed in the slots between corresponding securing arms and stabilizing arms, the hasp is closed over the end of the opposite arm, and a padlock is installed through the lock passage of this arm. The skateboard storage configuration may use a generally C-shaped channel as one of the securing arms, with one set of wheels of the skateboard being captured in the channel to prevent their removal when the skateboard is secured in the lockbox.
