A locking coupling for use with a multi-legged stand, said locking coupling adapted to immobilize a frame of a vehicle by securing the vehicle to an anchor connected to a foundation of a location, said locking coupling comprising: a turnbuckle attachment comprising a pivot point and at least two adjustable turnbuckle arms movably connected to said pivot point and each arm having a securing terminus adapted to secure to the frame of the vehicle; and a load binder assembly comprising: a load binder connected to said pivot point, said load binder comprising: an extension arm; a lever arm adapted to move said extension arm from a released position to an engaged position, and a hook arm having a lock aperture and adapted to removably connect to the anchor, said hook arm connected to said extension arm so that movement of said extension arm from said released position to said engaged position biases said hook arm from a hook released position to a hook engaged position; a shackle adapted for installation within said lock aperture; whereby said shackle prevents movement of said hook arm in said hook engaged position when said hook arm is connected to said anchor deterring movement of the vehicle from the location.
