Well, I guess it's time to up the game and add a new layer of social engineering: "people who install cat protector shields have flash-bangs installed inside in case of glass break, and tires filled with some toxic gas, for the inconvenience of the thieves being inconveniently upset".
Slap this in some social media groups, have some loud guy say it on TikTok video and some fake video of it happening.
- echelon 5y agoIt's illegal to booby trap your property in a way that could cause harm to a vandal. Even if you don't agree with this, there's the chance that such mechanisms could misfire and hurt someone innocent. A better solution would be to add more surveillance sensors. Unfortunately this drives up the cost for people looking to protect their property. I had my catalytic converter stolen as a college student, and it was a huge pain in the ass. Not to mention costly at the time to replace.
- Digit-Al 5y agoOP is not suggesting actually booby trapping cars. Having the sentence in quotes is the giveaway. He is saying to spread the myth that this is happening so thieves aren't sure if it is real or not and might be put off stealing them.
- mc32 5y agoI know you’re saying put out misinformation but not really do the boobytrapping just make them think it’s a thing. People from ZA tell me people there actually boobytrap their vehicles[1] and some carry flame throwers when they go on the road. That was a few yeasts ago and not sure if it’s still a thing.
