Abstract: An alarm system is disclosed which notifies an owner when a personal item they have secured with the alarm system is moved or taken. The alarm system includes a notification device, wherein the notification device generates a notification output in response to being in an actuated state. The alarm system includes a switch coupled to the notification device, where the switch places the notification device in a non-actuated state in response to receiving pressure from an item to be secured. If the item being secured is moved or tampered with, a notification output is created which notifies the owner that their personal item may be in danger. The notification output can be an audible sound or a visible light or a signal to a cell phone or a wireless signal.
