1. A security device for attachment to a work area for securing an item therein comprising:
- a base configured to be securely mounted to the work area;
a cover mounted to the base to define a secure chamber in cooperation with at least one of the base and the work area, wherein the cover is mounted for movement with respect to at least one of the base and the work area between an open position for providing access to the secure chamber and a closed position for preventing access to the secure chamber; and
a lock cooperating with the cover and at least one of the base and the work area for selectively locking the cover in the closed position, thereby preventing access to the secure chamber;
whereby a computing device can be placed within the secure chamber when the cover is in the open position, and the computing device can be stored within the secure chamber when the cover is moved to the closed position and locked.
