Abstract
An improved security system for preventing the theft of items, such as typewriters and personal computers. The system has a security plate which is fixed to the item that is to be secured. A bendable member is permanently attached to a center area of a plate base, and has a free end spaced from the center area of the base. A loop is advantageously formed on the free end for attaching the bendable member to a cable, chain or the like used to attach the plate to the anchor. When an attempt is made to forcibly remove the item, the bendable member bends to direct the removal force to the center of the plate where it can be distributed over the entire base and thereby more effectively resisted.
