Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a security alarm arrangement which embodies a substantially helically extending deterrent wire generally of a coiled configuration. At least one longitudinally extending electrically conductive wire passes through the helical wire configuration in the general direction of the axis thereof. The helical wire configuration and the longitudinally extending wire are both connected to an alarm system which will trigger should the two wires be brought into contact.
