I could too, but you need to design it as an enclosure fully screened so the equipment will still work as designed, provide a screened door access equipped with a door monitoring security alarm that is hooked up to the house alarm and the automatic dialer would call the security. Second defense would have to have the unit hot wired to 220 volt system with a transformer that would only put out 10 amps. Enough to sting and not kill. So the next day, It would be safe to assume that the $120 + unit is still in the screened porch. Maybe we can join forces in you building and I will provide the specs. ha. ha.

You can kill someone with a lot less than 10 Amps. Try 0.000010 Amps under the right conditions. or 0.010 under more "normal" conditions |

All I can remember about amps is taking a leak on barbed wire fence to keep the cows in the fenced area and it was energized with something that made me a man for an instant. Never forget it. Ahhh, now I remember, it was DC electric. Does that make a difference. No matter what, I never did it again. I guess I was talking about old experiences again. Hey, It did keep the cows in the pasture and believe you me, it stopped me from pissing on the cow post fence in a heart beat.

E;ectric fences are actually of varied types. The one I used for goats had 20,000 Volt pulses but of course very low Amps. I wanted the goat to back off not receive an instant Bar-B-Q I'll tell you about my brother's electric fence story sometime. |

The secret, as in commercial HVAC is to install a dummy device so that everybody knows where it is and then set the real one out of sight. We would do this with tstats in office buildings to keep all happy. One day they are all complaining that the temp is way off and that they needed control back, so we just pop on a t-87f(non-functional) for them to play with and all of the sudden everybody is happy.

RTCA has a toolbox-sized radon cage with all the gadgets to record if it was tampered with. Last I saw it, it was going for about $200.
I use a toolbox with 2 golf tees in it, and dual golf balls. Someone bumps or moves it, the golf balls fall, and I know it was screwed with. I use 1/2" holes drilled on all sides (with 2 areas in front and back, and on the lid), and cover tem with metallic speaker grilles, for plenty of airflow. I have 4 of these set-ups, along with warnings across the boxes. Boxes are bright yellow, which I purchased at National Liquidators for about $7 each. They do the job, are low-tech, and very reliable. |

What do you use to show that the owner left the exterior doors open for hours?
