anti-theft devices

Locks and alarms

Anti-theft devices are mechanisms designed to prevent or deter stealing, particularly of vehicles and merchandise.

Car alarms, steering wheel locks, and engine immobilizers protect against auto theft.

Retail stores use security tags that trigger alarms if not removed at checkout.

The insurance company offered a discount for anti-theft devices.
