Portions of a security device system; methods of making and using them

A method of protecting an object, the method including:

• protecting an object by installing a stratum and circuitry,
• the installing of the stratum including applying some of the stratum to the object, overlapping some of the stratum with itself, and
• the installing of the circuitry including installing circuitry configured to detect whether there is an electrical change in the circuitry and configured to have an armed state and a not-armed state, such that when in the armed state, the circuitry triggers an alarm upon a detection of the electrical change, the circuitry including a switch that, when triggered, disrupts electricity in the circuitry during the armed state, the switch having an end that is more proximate the object than some of the stratum and located so as to be triggered by separation of the end of the switch from the object.

A method including:

• installing a stratum, that overlaps some of itself, in combination with circuitry configured to detect whether there is an electrical change in the circuitry and configured to have an armed state and a not-armed state, such that when in the armed state, the circuitry triggers an alarm upon a detection of the electrical change, the circuitry including a switch that, when triggered, disrupts electricity in the circuitry during the armed state, the switch having an end that, when the circuitry and the stratum are installed to protect an object, is more proximate the object than at least some of the stratum so as to be triggered by separation of the end of the switch from the object.
