Those little dimples, one in each corner, there will be a tool that inserts into those holes to release a catch on either side.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Something like this.

Or use 4 small allen keys, with a little wiggling it will come out.

You could go to Halfords and buy the tool off them, if it doesnt fit then take it back....hey even if it does fit, still take it back !

If you've got a wire coathanger you can cut two ends off the coat hanger to make two similar U shaped devices.

Try it, if they are small enough to fit in the holes....you may need 4 though unless you can hook one side out first a little.

They are so available, and cheap now, (unfortunately) it makes no sense hunting around for coat hangers or welding rods. I think my entire kit cost less than a tenner.
Buy the tool.

Why unfortunately?

The whole point of making security fixings for ICE was to reduce the theft of the ever more increasingly expensive equipment. While junkies now still destroy £2000 of dashboards to try and sell half a unit to someone in a pub, everyone else now has access to the cheap, easily available removal tools. Pointless.
