winsor 236 #11 May 6, 2013 QuoteIED disguised as an Iphone? 3...2....1....BOOM! Problem solved. When I was in grad school, I lived in a neighborhood that was sorely affected by the Cocaine Wars of the late '80s. It went from yuppie gentrification to a war zone (a neighbor was shot in front of my house in a drive-by). My truck was broken into about once a week, and they generally just dug around in the glove compartment and left the door open. I pondered how a rigged high-end audio system might change the equation, and concluded it was a really bad policy. For one thing, there seemed to be an effectively infinite number of people looking to finance drugs and what have you. Given the cost of putting a new decoy into the truck every week, it was cheaper to leave the door unlocked and let them search it as necessary. Then you have the indiscriminate nature of the deterrent. You are likely to have someone pull the "stereo," thus arming it, and then stash it at their aunt's house where it would go bang at a prayer meeting. The last straw is personal safety. You don't want to be around a deterrent device that could be triggered with you in range. If you get t-boned in traffic, getting coated with dye or bear spray (or worse) would hardly improve the experience. The solution I took was to move. I find it much more effective to actively avoid the kind of people given to larceny. One advantage of being amongst haves rather than have-nots is that, when they steal, the haves use a suit and a briefcase rather than a cudgel. They also reserve their larceny for comparatively huge sums, and can be trusted with lesser amounts. BSBD, Winsor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
