Abstract:
The largest of padlocks or security cables are easily defeated with bolt cutters. Thieves can readily sever the shackle of a padlock or a cable and hook up a trailer loaded with an expensive boat or other expensive equipment; and be off with it. Since padlocks currently do not wirelessly excite deterrents such as audio or visual alarms or alert authorities, thieves can conduct their nefarious activities in stealth. The GOTCHA alerts loud audible alarms, flashing lights and can activate scrutiny systems as both a deterrent and a means of alerting the powers that be. The GOTCHA is portable, wireless, and impervious to the effects of weather; and its protection cannot be defeated by destroying it. The GOTCHA accessory makes a padlock a part of a security system.
