Cute device to fool burglars and snoops into believing someone is home

We have had one of those for several years and they work great. In fact,
sometimes when we tell people where we were last week they say whomever
was watching the house was also watching TeeVee.

In spite of the fact that there's supposedly a gun in about half of all
US homes - which is supposed to act as a deterrent against this sort of
crime?

Or is it that the theft of firearms from homes actually *causes* an
increase in home burglary?

If there are guns in 50% of the homes and only 2% are broken into,
what's the "in spite of" that you're talking about?

Or is it that the theft of firearms from homes actually *causes* an
increase in home burglary?


Do you believe that guns emit some sort of mystic aura that either
repels or attacts criminals?

Otherwise, what's your point?

A gun will only stop a burglar if the owner is home to use it. Burglars are
cowards that break in when there is nobody home to stop them.

Firearms are just one the the things they can take to sell for quick cash
along with jewelry and electronics. If they just wanted a gun to pull off a
robbery they could more easily get it from one of their criminal friends.

It is indeed a fantastic idea, something so incredibly basic and simple
it leads us to wonder why we didn't come up with the idea ourselves!
Well priced, too.

If the new model is actually three (3) times brighter it is simply too
bright in my opinion. Ours is set approximately twenty-five (25) feet
from the windows and from the outside it looks exactly like a TeeVee is on.

Yeah, I sure have. In fact we are seriously considering moving up to a
22" from our current 13".
