A decoy phone box.

When some cars still had exterior hood releases, I installed an under
the hood handle that looked like it opened the hood but really just
tripped the car alarm. It looked great. I once found the alarm
runnng, and I think someone fell for it and tripped my device.
Nothing else was open or damaged and if a car had bumped me
accidentally, I don't think the mercury switches would have tripped.

The hood wasn't opened but then again, this wasn't even connected to
the hood.
