Patent attributes
An electrical continuity unattended package security apparatus and method of operation prevents unattended delivered packages from theft or molestation. A bag contains an item. The bag has a mesh sidewall weaved with a matrix of conductive wires. An electric cable, carrying electrical current is in contact with conductive wires. A current sensing device detects a disturbance to electrical continuity through the electric cable and conductive wires, such as attempts to cut the cable or open the bag. A disturbance to the electric cable or conductive wires triggers a visual and audible alarm. The terminus of the cable forms a loop that serves as a mounting means to the anchoring structure. Fasteners also serves as a mounting means. A coded pad controls a gate. When the package recipient or package deliverer register a predetermined code, the gate opens to enable access to electric cable and alarm reset means.
