Abstract: An electronically secured money belt has a pouch attached to an elongated waist band and an electronic control circuit. The elongated waist band includes a wire mesh circuit electrically coupled to the electronic control circuit whereby damaging one or more wire elements of the wire mesh circuit causes the electronic control circuit to activate an audible alarm. In some embodiments, pouch includes a closure, such as a snap, button, or zipper that doubles as an electronic switch electrically coupled to the electronic control circuit. The closure closes the electronic control circuit to activate the security system. A master switch is located on the waistband and is electrically coupled to the electronic control circuit. The master switch is operable to activate or deactivate said electronic control circuit and therefore the security system. A magnet-attachable accessory engages a magnet on the belt to provide an auxiliary means to activate the security system.
