Claim 14:
15. A method of mounting an object fitted with a mounting rail to a crossbar using the security mounting bracket device of claim 1 comprising:
a) placing a bolt through a hole of a mounting channel slide and inserting the mounting channel slide into a channel of the mounting rail attached to an object to be mounted wherein the head of the bolt is positioned between the mounting channel slide and the mounting rail leaving an unthreaded and threaded shank of the bolt exposed beneath the mounting channel slide;
b) repeating step a) with a second bolt and aligning the two bolts suspended from the mounting rail a distance equal to the distance between two counterbore hole bolt entry holes of the security mounting bracket device;
c) placing the object with mounting rail on top of the crossbar;
d) straddling the crossbar, perpendicular to and below the mounting channel rail, with the security mounting bracket device, inserting the two bolts suspended from the mounting rail through the counterbore hole bolt entry ends of the two posts of the security mounting bracket device and positioning the threaded shank of the bolt within the well of the counterbore hole;
e) using a nut and a socket, placing the nut onto the threaded shank of the bolt within the counterbore hole well and tightening the nut onto the bolt using the socket, forming a bolted joint between the security mounting bracket device and the mounting channel rail wherein the security mounting bracket device and mounting channel slide secure the object to the crossbar.
