Protective cover assembly

A cover assembly, comprising:

• a flexible cover including an outer layer of flexible material and an inner layer of flexible material;
• a first conductor plate fabricated of a flexible material, the first conductor plate positioned between the outer layer of flexible material and the inner layer of flexible material;
• and
• a second conductor plate fabricated of a flexible material, the second conductor plate positioned between the outer layer of flexible material and the inner layer of flexible material and electrically insulated from the first conductor plate,
• wherein at least one of the first conductor plate and the second conductor plate is electrically connectable to a power source and an alarm system such that upon an electrical conducting implement piercing the first conductor plate and contacting the second conductor plate an electrical connection is established between the first conductor plate and the second conductor plate thereby causing the alarm system to emit an alerting signal.

A cover assembly for a convertible vehicle, comprising:

• an articulating frame;
• a flexible cover secured to the articulating frame, the flexible cover including an outer layer of flexible material and an inner layer of flexible material;
• a first conductor plate fabricated of a flexible material, the first conductor plate positioned between the outer layer of flexible material and the inner layer of flexible material;
• and
• a second conductor plate fabricated of a flexible material, the second conductor plate positioned between the outer layer of flexible material and the inner layer of flexible material and electrically insulated from the first conductor plate
• wherein at least one of the first conductor plate and the second conductor plate is electrically connectable to a power source and an alarm system such that upon an electrical conducting implement piercing the first conductor plate and contacting the second conductor plate an electrical connection is established between the first conductor plate and the second conductor plate thereby causing the alarm system to emit an alerting signal.
