The security system includes an alarm when the cable carries either an electrical, a fibre optic or a pneumatic line such that if the cable is severed by a thief that an alarm system will instantly be actuated so as to prevent the theft. The user can release the cable by entering the known code when the article is to be removed which allows the one end of the cable to be unlocked from its holding socket.
