A locking apparatus (20) and method for attaching to a portable electronic device (16) that has an outer shell (20) defining a cavity (18), such as a stylus cavity in a personal digital assistant (PDA) or the like. The apparatus (10) includes a cavity engagement mechanism (12) having an insert portion (22) for occupying the cavity (18), and a clamping mechanism (15) coupled to the cavity engagement mechanism (12). The clamping mechanism (15) includes a wedge (25) having a clamping surface (26) that compresses against the exterior wall (21) in a direction relative to the insert portion (22) when the insert portion (22) occupies the cavity (18), to maintain the insert portion (22) within the cavity (18) to secure the apparatus (10) to the portable electronic device (16). The locking apparatus (10) attaches to a cable (14) or other securing means to secure the electronic device (16) from theft.
