Spy Review

If you are carrying valuable documents, cash or other important or expensive things in a briefcase and you do this often enough, you may want to invest in a case which is safe and secure and not just in terms of lockability. This particular one is supposed to be theft proof with an alarm and shock system.

The briefcase is ‘armed’ so it is loss proof. It emits a high voltage electric shock from all over to disable the thief and make him throw it away. It can also emit a shrill piercing sound in case somebody tries to make off with it. The sound volume exceeds 85db and electric shock power voltage exceeds 30kV. Both these functions are inbuilt and can be remotely operated.

The idea behind the remote is that if you are accosted by a thief or the case is taken away from you, and you are in a position to do so, you can still arm the suitcase (with sound and shock) via the remote which works up to 50m away. The burglar should then be forced to leave it.

However, this would happen in an ideal situation. If there are two people, you may not be able to do anything, especially if they are armed. And supposing you were to leave the case in the car, properly armed, thinking that it is safe, a person can still drive off with it and figure out a way to open it.

That said, it is still good to have an extra safety measure to protect your valuable and no doubt it might be useful in certain situations. Another thing in its favour is that it looks like a normal brief case and you can get it in leather or PVC, with double code locks.
