The present invention defines an anti-theft device for use with a variety of personal property, including bicycles, motorcycles and other small vehicles employing a three-part assembly of high-impact glass-filled nylon which attaches to vehicle frames of various size. The fastening means is hidden and sound channels are utilized to enhance an audible alarm and to prevent muffling of an interior speaker, activated by partial cutting or disconnection of a cable of known resistance. The cable is inserted in a case assembly with differing positions depending on whether the user wishes to set the alarm or store the cable out of the way if not energized. The alarm may be silenced by incrementally turning a key and removing a cable. The same key is positioned to allow arming of the alarm by insertion of the cables in the proper orientation. Further, the same key, turned another increment allows removal of the front cover of the assembly exposing the power source and electronics and allowing the unfastening of the assembly from the frame.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] An improved anti-theft device comprising:a case assembly, said case assembly having a rear section, an interior section and a front cover, said interior section having at least one slot on said interior section's forward-facing edge, said front cover having an outer wall
[ What is claimed is:] [1.] An improved anti-theft device comprising:a case assembly, said case assembly having a rear section, an interior section and a front cover, said interior section having at least one slot on said interior section's forward-facing edge, said front cover having an outer wall and a bottom wall, said front cover forming at least one port coincident with said interior section's slot when said front cover and said interior section are joined, said front cover forming an aperture on its outer wall and channels along its bottom wall;mounting means for attaching said interior section to said rear section, securing said property therebetween;a printed circuit board;a speaker;a power source;a chassis retaining said circuit board and said speaker, said circuit board having alarm circuitry comprising at least one tamper switch to activate said speaker, said chassis forming a compartment for housing said power source, said chassis further comprising access ports positioned to be in substantial alignment with said slot and said front cover's port when said case assembly is complete, said chassis also having a bottom end forming a housing for said speaker, said speaker positioned to direct sound through said channels of said front cover when said case assembly is complete, said chassis further comprising a mechanical tamper detection means, said chassis further comprising a slotted aperture in substantial concentric alignment with said front cover's aperture, said circuit board further comprising cable detecting means, said circuit board also forming a hole in substantial concentric alignment with said slotted aperture;a keyed lock mechanism having a keyway extending from and along said mechanism's longitudinal axis, and at least one ear at the opposite end of said axis, said opposite end also having a peg, said ear and said peg rotatable by turning a key in said keyway of said lock mechanism, said ear and said peg in fixed position relative to said keyway, said lock mechanism retained in said front cover's aperture;a clip lock having at least one retaining clip rotatable about its center, said clip lock forming a slot dimensioned to engage said post, said clip lock adapted to be retained by said ear, said clip lock extending into said interior section such that when said key turns said clip lock, said ear engages said slotted aperture retaining said front cover to said interior section and closing said mechanical tamper switch;a cable of known resistance having at least one termination, said termination releasably insertable through said port and said slot of said interior section, said termination having a keyway engageable with said retaining clip, said termination when so engaged also completing said alarm circuit of said circuit board such that when said alarm is energized, removal of said termination activates said tamper switch thereby activating said alarm, said energized circuit broken by the opening of said mechanical tamper switch when said case assembly is tampered with, thereby activating said alarm circuitry and operating said speaker.
