1. A security mounting bracket device for mounting an object to a crossbar, the security mounting bracket device comprising:
a) a single piece of molded material having a bridge portion positioned between two mounting posts wherein each mounting post has a top portion and a bottom portion wherein the top portion is connected to the bridge portion;
b) two counterbore holes, wherein a counterbore hole is centered within each of the two mounting posts, spanning the height of the post, wherein a first portion of the counterbore hole comprises a counterbore hole well positioned in the top portion of the mounting post connected to the bridge portion and wherein the counterbore hole is dimensioned such that a security nut fits within the counterbore hole well, and a second coaxial portion of the counterbore hole comprises a counterbore hole bolt entry end positioned in the bottom portion of the mounting post and dimensioned to receive a bolt; and
wherein the bridge portion and the two mounting posts form a contoured tunnel matching the contour and dimensions of the crossbar; and
wherein a bolt, extending from the object to be mounted, is received in the counterbore hole bolt entry end to engage with the nut within the counterbore hole well to form a bolted joint between the security mounting bracket device and a mounted object.
