Abstract
The invention relates to a highly visible parking enforcement marker that can be attached to a vehicle and locked onto the vehicle. The parking enforcement marker may be attached to a vehicle by magnetic force, suction, or a combination thereof and locked in place to prevent removal of the parking enforcement marker. The parking enforcement marker is generally constructed of a shell and an attachment structure that are configured such that when the shell can be locked to the attachment structure or the attachment structure can be locked to the vehicle. The shell then serves to prevent access to the attachment structure and prevents unauthorized removal of the parking enforcement marker.
