Abstract: The invention discloses an anti-theft device for digital versatile discs
and the like and consists of providing the hubs of the case with means
guaranteeing that the discs may not be removed by pressure on the major
outer surfaces of the case. This object is attained by modifying the structure
of said hub in such a way that, when pressure is exerted on said major outer
surfaces of the case, the centering means impinge against the opposite inner
surface of the case and prevent the retaining tabs from flexing and releasing
the disc from the retained position thereof. 
     The invention is applicable to increase security against the theft of
digital versatile discs and the like.
