anti-theft system

Burglar prevention device

An anti-theft system is a mechanism designed to prevent or deter stealing, most commonly in vehicles and retail settings.

Car anti-theft systems include alarms, immobilizers, and tracking devices: The anti-theft system wouldn't let me start my own car.

In stores, tags and sensors trigger alerts if items leave without being deactivated.
