1. A security assembly for an article to be monitored, said security assembly comprising:
- a housing to be secured to a first surface on an article to be monitored and facing in a first direction on an article to be monitored;
a stabilizing element defining a shoulder to abut to a surface on an article to be monitored, the shoulder facing transversely to the first direction;
at least one fastener that is capable of maintaining the housing and stabilizing element in an operative position on an article to be monitored,wherein the housing and stabilizing element are guidable one directly against the other between first and second relative positions and the at least one fastener is capable of maintaining the housing and stabilizing element in the operative position on an article to be monitored with the housing and stabilizing element in each of the first and second relative positions; and
a flexible cable having first and second ends, the first end of the flexible cable maintained with the housing and stabilizing element with the housing and stabilizing element in the operative position on an article to be monitored.

12. In combination:
a) an article to be monitored comprising; a case with a first exposed, external surface with a substantially first flat portion and a second exposed, external surface with a substantially second flat portion, with the first and second flat surface portions at an angle with respect to each other, there being a pre-threaded bore through the first surface portion; and b) a security assembly for the article to be monitored, said security assembly comprising; a housing; a stabilizing element having a shoulder and a third surface that is angularly disposed in relationship to the shoulder; and a fastener with a threaded shank and an enlarged head on the threaded shank and a central axis and the fastener i) extends into the housing, the stabilizing element and the pre-threaded bore through the first surface so that the housing and stabilizing element are captive between the fastener head and the first surface and ii) maintains the stabilizing element fixedly on the article to be monitored with the third surface situated relative to the second surface such that rotation of the housing and stabilizing element around the central axis of the fastener causes the second and third surfaces to abut and limit rotation of the housing and stabilizing element around the central axis. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 22)

17. In combination:
a) an article to be monitored comprising; a case with a first exposed, external surface with a substantially first flat portion and a second exposed, external surface with a substantially second flat portion, with the first and second flat surface portions at an angle with respect to each other, there being a threaded bore through the first surface; and b) a security assembly for the article to be monitored, said security assembly comprising; a housing; a stabilizing element having a shoulder and a third surface that is angularly disposed in relationship to the shoulder; a fastener with a central axis and that i) extends into the housing, the stabilizing element and the threaded bore through the first surface and ii) maintains the stabilizing element fixedly on the article to be monitored with the third surface situated relative to the second surface such that rotation of the housing and stabilizing element around the central axis of the fastener causes the second and third surfaces to abut and limit rotation of the housing and stabilizing element around the central axis; and an elongate tether having first and second ends and an enlargement on the first end of the elongate tether, the housing has a cavity to receive the enlargement on the first end of the elongate tether and the stabilizing element captively blocks the enlargement in the housing cavity with the housing and stabilizing element in each of the first and second relative positions.
