FakeTV Deters Burglars
May 20, 08 07:40 PM PDT
If you were a thief, would you actually break into a home where the people are still awake, or have already gone to bed? I'd definitely settle for the latter, and this is why the FakeTV could actually fool potential thieves from entering your home. This device, when plugged into a power outlet, will emulate a TV by throwing enough glare in the room to indicate that someone is still up even till the wee hours of the morning. Definitely not the greenest gadget available on the market, but if it helps give you some peace of mind by acting as a deterrent, make it so.

FakeTV uses 3W when active-- very green indeed!
You still need good locks, and a light on a timer remains a good idea. Stop the paper and mail when you are out of town, and get to know your neighbors - that gives you the extra benefit of a more-connected life.
