Anti-Theft Coffee Cup

Target hardening seems to be the most common technique used in product design to deter theft. And what else should be under lock and key is none other than the cup in which you drink your morning latte. The specially sized key lock that plugs up the security hole (which would normally render the mug useless and the countertop messy) is a sneaky way to deny the potential thief benefits.

It’s a clever concept for those who work in an office full of kleptomaniacs, or for those of us who have a panic attack at the mere thought of our favourite pens mysteriously disappearing.
