Abstract
An economic commodity antitheft implement that can securely prevent a theft of a commodity, and can reduce the number of magnetic detection tags used for preventing a theft of a commodity. The implement includes a case for receiving a commodity and is formed of a box body and a cover body provided on the box body via a hinge so as to open and close an opening portion of the box body. Parallel arranged fitting grooves are formed when the opening portion of the box body is closed, and the fitting grooves are coupled together by a slider inserted over the entire length of the fitting grooves, keeping the box body and the cover body in a locked state. Unless the slider is drawn out of the fitting grooves, the commodity received in the case is not taken out of the case; therefore, it is possible to prevent commodity theft.
