Security system with remote indication
First Claim
1. A security system for providing a remote indication of a breach in security comprising:
- an electronic device comprising an electronic device body;
a disabling member removably and replaceably couplable to the electronic device body;
a means for at least partially disabling the electronic device when the disabling member is removed from the electronic device body;
a means for sensing a breach in security;
a means for sending an alarm signal to the disabling member in response to a sensing of a breach of security by the means for sensing a breach in security;
a means operably associated with the disabling member for receiving an alarm signal sent by the means for sending an alarm signal; and
a means operably associated with the disabling member for announcing a receipt of an alarm signal by the means for receiving an alarm signal;
whereby the disabling member functions not only to disable the electronic device when the disabling member is removed from the electronic device body but the disabling member also functions to provide a remote indication of a security breach.

Abstract
A security system (10) for providing a remote indication of a breach in security including an electronic device with an electronic device body (12) and a disabling member (14) couplable thereto. The electronic device is disabled by removing the disabling member (14). A security breach causes an alarm signal to be sent to the disabling member (14), which announces the receipt of an alarm signal. The electronic device can be a vehicle sound-reproduction device, and the disabling member (14) can be all or a portion of a face thereof. The alarm signal can be sent first by radio transmission that, if necessary, can be supplemented by a mobile communications transmission. The disabling member (14) could further act as a mobile communications pager and as a mobile telephone. The disabling member (14) could operate to affect operation of a vehicle in which the security system (10) is employed.
