An improved locking box clasp for use with jewelry comprising a generally rectangular box with a top opening, a side opening and front end openings, a clip member and a locking pin. The clip member inserts into the front end of the box, and contains a locking boss on the top side thereof, which locking boss is of dimensions slightly less than the top opening of the box. When the clip member is inserted into the open front end, it must be compressed and the locking boss seats into the top opening. A locking pin, articulating from the rear end of the box, has a tongue which, when inserted into the side opening of the box, prevents unintentional compression of the locking boss of the clip member, and therefore, unintentional removal of the clip member from the box. One end of a jewelry chain is anchored to the clip member, and the second end is anchored to the box.

A passive anti-theft device (10) for use with a land-borne vehicle (14) which alerts the observing public that vehicle (14) has been stolen. The device consists of a broad, flat, brightly colored, message lettered strap (16) that normally stows between the trailing edge of the cowl (32) and the lower edge of the outer surface of the automobile windshield (12). When the vehicle (14) is left unattended, the strap (16) articulates pivotally from the windshield (12) lower edge to rotate upward at a removed end. The strap (16) is lockingly secured (28) to the windshield (12) along a diagonal. Thus, a thief must either remove the strap (16)--which would require breaking the windshield--or drive the car with the strap (16) in plain sight, its lettered message (30) alerting the public of the unauthorized use of the auto (14).
