ABSTRACT:
The security of manufactured apparatus is enhanced through reducing the motivation for theft by partitioning the design of the manufactured apparatus so as to provide a component essential to the operation that is destroyed both in function and in appearance on moving the apparatus, is clearly distinguishable from a common article of commerce and cannot be singly, economically produced. The security is enhanced because theft is not profitable since a cost equal to any profit is incurred to replace the destroyed part and chance of detection is increased. Small apparatus theft, such as occurs with a typewriter, is rendered impractical by providing a power cord that is distinctive in appearance, not economically singly replaceable, that is so fastened that it must be fractured in order to remove the apparatus.
