FakeTV FTV-10 Burglar Deterrent
harry used improper usenet message composition style by unnecessarily
full-quoting: http://www.faketv.com/ Is it true then that 2% of houses in the US are broken in to? 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? |

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? 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? -- St. Paul, MN |

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

Ours is set approximately twenty-five (25) feet from the windows and from the outside it looks exactly like a TeeVee is on. Don |
