anti-theft device
Security protection mechanism
An anti-theft device is any mechanism designed to prevent or deter stealing, most commonly applied to vehicles and retail merchandise.
Car alarms, steering wheel locks, and engine immobilizers are anti-theft devices.
In stores, electronic tags that trigger alarms at exits serve the same purpose: The clerk forgot to remove the anti-theft device from my jacket.
