Provided is a security device and method for preventing burglary of a container. The method includes igniting, via ignition means, an explosive substance in the container, so that the explosive substance is combusted before it reaches a critical mass. The method further includes conveying atmosphere from inside the container to the ignition means.

A method (100) for depassivation of a battery (BATT) of a cash and valuables container (10) includes at least one electronically controllable component (14) and an associated control circuit (18) being supplied by the battery (BATT). The control circuit (18) executes at least one control procedure for the at least one electronically controllable component (14). The valuables container can be transportable, e.g. a cash box (10), and includes an invalidation unit, in particular an ink dyeing system (14). The control circuit (18) then also executes the depassivation (120) of the battery (BATT) each time before activating or deactivating the at least one control procedure (130) or a sub-routine thereof, such as the sub-routine for controlling and driving the ink dyeing system. Specifically, the depassivation of the battery (BATT) is performed before each first/initial execution of the least one control procedure (130).

A system and method for mitigating theft from a container includes a container having a plurality of walls defining a first volume and an anti-theft mitigation device having a plurality of walls defining a second volume. A fastening mechanism is attached to the anti-theft mitigation device such that the antitheft mitigation device may be coupled to the container by the fastening mechanism. The second volume of the anti-theft mitigation device is substantially smaller than the first volume of the container. The anti-theft mitigation device may be positioned within the first volume and may appear to define a portion of the first volume of the container. The fastening mechanism may comprise at least one of a magnet, a hook and loop fastener, a screw, a nail, a rivot, a snap, a mating protuberance, a channel-containing structure, a mating male or female mechanical structure.
