Abstract
This anti-theft device applies a security strip directly onto the frame of an audio or video cassette. The location of the strip could be anywhere on the shell or frame. For example, one could locate it next to the UPC code on the underside of the shell, on the spine, or anywhere under the label or paperboard sheath. While the hidden strip is useful with a standard cassette and label, it is especially useful with a composite cassette having a paperboard sheath. The hidden security strip makes detection and removal virtually impossible.
