anti-theft measures
Deterrents against stealing
Anti-theft measures are precautions taken to prevent stealing or to make stolen items harder to use or sell.
The term encompasses everything from physical barriers like locks and security tags to electronic systems like alarms, GPS tracking, and immobilizers.
Retailers invest heavily in anti-theft measures to reduce shoplifting, while car manufacturers build them into vehicles as standard features.
