Here is a interesting anti-burglary device – a fake TV that simulates the flickering and color shifting of the real thing. From the FakeTV Website:
FakeTV accurately simulates the light output of a real television. The effect of scene changes, fades, swells, flicks, on-screen motion, and color changes look just they came from a real TV. From outside the house, it looks just like someone is watching a real television. The potential burglar thinks the home must be occupied, so he moves on to an easier target.
The device automatically turns at dusk, off at dawn, which supposedly is better than timers than work at a set time. I guess a would-be burglar would just assume that you stay up late, every night.
