7. The vehicle immobilization apparatus of claim 6 , wherein said locking means comprises apertures incorporated into said exterior member of said forward chock and into said exterior member of said rear chock that are adapted to receive a locking mechanism.

8. The vehicle immobilization apparatus of claim 6 , further comprising vertical end surfaces interconnected between said exterior member and said interior member of said forward chock and said exterior member and said interior member of said rear chock, said vertical end surfaces including at least one hand hold.

9. The vehicle immobilization apparatus of claim 6 , further comprising a tire clamp, said tire clamp including a hook for engagement with an upper surface of the tire, a bracket for interconnection with said vehicle immobilization apparatus, and a selective adjustable member positioned therebetween.

10. The vehicle immobilization apparatus of claim 9 , further comprising an aperture integrated into said bracket for alignment with corresponding aperture on said external members of said front chock and said rear chock, thereby providing a location for the interconnection of a locking mechanism.

11. The vehicle immobilization apparatus of claim 10 , wherein said locking mechanism comprises at least one of a cable, a padlock, a cylinder lock, and a combination lock.

12. A vehicle immobilization device, comprising:

a forward chock comprising an external member, an interior member and a front panel interconnected thereto, said interior member being shorter than said external member;

a rearward chock comprising an external member, an interior member and a rear panel interconnected thereto, said interior member being shorter than said external member, and wherein said forward chock and said rearward chock are adapted for interconnection and sized to receive a vehicle tire therebetween; and

adjustment means interconnected to at least one of said forward chock and said rearward chock, wherein a distance between said front panel and said rear panel is selectively adjustable during attachment and removal of said vehicle immobilization device to a vehicle tire; and

a locking means operably interconnected to at least one of said forward chock and rearward chock, wherein said immobilization device can be selectively secured around the vehicle tire.

13. The vehicle immobilization apparatus of claim 12 , wherein said locking means comprises apertures incorporated into said exterior member of said forward chock and into said exterior member of said rearward chock that are adapted to receive a locking mechanism.

14. The vehicle immobilization apparatus of claim 12 , further comprising vertical end surfaces interconnected between said exterior member and said interior member of said forward chock and said exterior member and said interior member of said rearward chock, said vertical end surfaces including at least one hand hold.

15. The vehicle immobilization apparatus of claim 12 , further comprising a tire clamp, said tire clamp including a hook for engagement with an upper surface of the tire, a bracket for interconnection with said vehicle immobilization apparatus, and a selective adjustable member positioned therebetween.

16. The vehicle immobilization apparatus of claim 12 , further comprising an aperture integrated into said bracket for alignment with corresponding aperture on said external members of said front chock and said rearward chock, thereby providing a location for the interconnection of a locking mechanism.

17. The vehicle immobilization apparatus of claim 16 , wherein said locking mechanism comprises at least one of a cable, a padlock, a cylinder lock, and a combination lock.

18. The vehicle immobilization apparatus of claim 12 , wherein said adjustment means comprises said exterior member of said forward chock operably interconnected to said exterior member of said rearward chock, wherein said forward chock and said rearward chock are capable of selective displacement with respect to each other.

19. A method for immobilizing a wheel, comprising:

providing a forward chock comprising an exterior member, an interior member and a forward tire contact surface interconnected thereto, said interior member being shorter than said exterior member;

providing a rearward chock comprising an exterior member, an interior member and a rear tire contact surface interconnected thereto, said interior member being shorter than said exterior member;
