1. An alarm apparatus including:
- a key;
an extension including a flexible line which provides a path of electrical conductivity;
an alarm device, electrically connected to the flexible line at an end of the flexible line distant from the key, the alarm device including;
a first switcha portal located and structured to guide the key to dispose the first switch from OFF to ON;
a second switch operable by a plunger having an extended position and a retracted position, the extended position reaching farther outwards from an exterior surface of the alarm device than the retracted position;
a third switch operable by receipt of broadcast of energy;
an alarm;
circuitry located to electrically communicate with the path, the circuitry having a structure which unites cooperation of the first switch, the second switch, the third switch, and the alarm, such that;
the alarm is activated when the first switch is ON and the second switch is in the retracted position,the alarm is triggered when a detector detects an electrical change in the path or when the plunger of the second switch is located in the extended position, andthe alarm is deactivated by the receipt of the broadcast of energy by the third switch or by location of the first switch to OFF; and
a housing, located on the flexible line between the key and the alarm device, the housing including a contact with the flexible line, the housing including a receptor structured to releasably attach the key such that when the key is attached to the receptor, the flexible line and the housing prescribe an opening.

Abstract
An electrical device, processes for using and making the device, and products produced thereby. There can be an alarm device and an extension which includes a protrusion. The extension can have wiring, and the alarm device can detect for a change in electricity running through the wiring, such as a change that would occur when the electricity is interrupted when the wiring is cut. The protrusion is located adjacent to the extension, distant from the alarm device, and can include a key, switch, connector, or the like. The protrusion, in some cases, can be releasably connectable to a housing that is in turn connected to the extension, so as to form a loop in which an item can be secured for protection, e.g., from theft.
