An interesting idea, but in this video it just spooked the burglar enough to send them running. How much of an effect would there be if they decided to just grab some things and feel their way out.
I suppose it would limit the time someone could feasibly spend stealing, and it does seem to make profitable reentry difficult. But I suspect the video overstates the benefits.
- JshWright 16y agoExactly... The only reason this "worked" is because it's a pretty basic instinct that when you're somewhere you shouldn't be, and doing something you shouldn't be doing, anything unexpected is a reason to get the hell out. Loud bells and flashing lights would have been just as effective.
- JoeAltmaier 16y agoThe fog is completely opaque. It effectively blinds the burglar. They are not in a familiar space; their only option is to flee or be caught. The fog is very fast; they cannot steal much in 15 seconds; they certainly cannot clean the place out. So panic is only a bonus; its totally unnecessary for the fog to be an effective countermeasure.
