Abstract
The combination of a portable article, a first support assembly, and a tethering system. The first support assembly has at least a first connecting element for maintaining the portable article in a secured state relative to the first support assembly. The tethering system connects to the first support assembly and is connectable to a base/support. The tethering system prevents the first support assembly from being moved beyond a predetermined range from a base/support to which the tethering system is connected. The combination further includes an alarm system. The alarm system is capable of detecting at least (a) a first state wherein at least one of the tethering system and alarm system has been reconfigured to allow the portable article, in the secured state relative to the first support assembly, to be moved beyond the predetermined range away from a base/support, and (b) a second state wherein at least one of the tethering system and alarm system has been reconfigured to allow the portable article to be changed from the secured state relative to the first support assembly and moved beyond the predetermined range away from a base/support.
