I'm aware that it's illegal to shoot a thief in the back as I'm chasing him
with a shotgun or a MAC10.
But what if when the thief pulls on the downspout the buzzer goes off and
he feels a little tingle?
.....and the next pulse tingles a bit more?
Thanks for the warning about angry criminals but I believe that the proper
values for voltage and amperage
could discourage them without making them angry. We could have the video
cameras and the alarms
going off while they're trashing the place. These are sneak thieves.
Thanks to all for your help. I'll probably go for some X-10 stuff to
provide an audible warning and video.
I'll be shopping for the electric fence next. I've always wanted one of
those. And I think I just got sold on
a sprinkler system.
And thanks again to the List itself. Best mailing list in the WORLD!
