A :security device structured for attachment to an object, the security device comprising:

• a housing;
• a spool supported within the housing and configured to rotate about an axis such that the spool is rotatable in both a first direction and a second direction;
• the housing having a transverse locking surface;
• and
• a locking mechanism comprising a transverse locking surface, movable between a locked position and an unlocked position, wherein in the locked position, the transverse locking surface of the locking mechanism is engaged with the transverse locking surface of the housing, and wherein in the unlocked position, the transverse locking surface of the locking mechanism is disengaged from the transverse locking surface of the housing;
• wherein the spool and the locking mechanism are each spatially centered about the axis.

• a housing;
• a spool supported within the housing and configured to rotate about as common axis such that the spool is rotatable in both a first direction and a second direction;
• a locking mechanism comprising a locking surface, movable between a locked position and an unlocked position;
• a button configured to move the locking mechanism between the locked position and the unlocked position;
• and
• a security element for preventing or hindering theft of the object, the security element configured to generate a signal or change or disturb a signal upon entering a detection zone;
• and
