Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved anti-theft, security package for selectively retaining an object or releasing the object for removal from the housing. The object may be a recording medium, such as a cassette tape or compact disc. The housing has an object-receiving compartment and an object-conformal access opening which communicates with the compartment. A portion of the package, such as a member, is movable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the member overlies the access opening to block removal of the object therefrom. In the second position of the member, the access opening is not overlain thereby and removal of the object therefrom is permitted.
