This was from a large size rubbermaid type plastic container, price about 9 USD.

I removed the label sticker from it, and found another sticker underneath it, this one an anti shoplifting sticker. If you zoom in on the picture, you can faintly see the wires.

I was really surprised to see this kind of tech on such a relatively inexpensive item. Either shoplifting is really widespread, or these stickers are really cheap. Does anyone know more about them, how much they cost, what kind of tech they use?

I'm curious about shoplifting. Till a couple years ago I lived in an area where shoplifting was widespread and completely tolerated, and pretty much legal. The police absolutely wouldn't come unless the shoplifter was violent, and even then probably wouldn't come.
