Abstract
A method of protecting retail store inventory from theft includes the steps of providing an electrical alarm circuit which is electrically connectable to a security loop cable. The security loop cable includes a plurality of electrically conductive and connectable security loop cable segments. A user forms the security loop cable by connecting the plurality of security loop cable segments end-to-end and attaches the security loop cable to the items of inventory. The free ends of the security loop cable are physically secured, including at least one of the free ends being physically secured by electrically connecting it to the electrical alarm circuit. The physical securement of the free ends prevents detachment of the inventory items from the cable. The alarm system when armed will activate an alarm if electrical continuity of the security loop cable is broken.
