Abstract: A storage compartment for mounting to a snowboard having a plurality of pre-existing threaded mounting holes includes a base member, a lid member hinged to the base member, and an insert fitted within the base member for receiving loose objects such as a wrench, wax, a locking cable and/or personal items. An anchoring post is secured to the base member. A closed loop end of a locking cable is passed around the anchoring post and the other end of the locking cable extends through an aperture formed in an end wall of the lid or base member where it is secured to a fixed object. A lock is provided to lock the lid member to the base member to prevent removal of the locking cable and theft of the snowboard when the snowboard is secured to the fixed object.
