What is honestly the point of house or car alarms. Literally noone cares. It'd be into hour 3 of people tutting and rolling their eyes before anyone even thought of calling the cops. You could burgle an entire street, fence the goods and retire to a warm non-extradition country by the time anyone came to investigate. We need a new system. Is there a noise that would make you drop what you're doing and spring into action? Or perhaps insurers should offer a percentage incentive? Or if you catch a robber in the act, the po-po should allow you to do whatever you want to them for half an hour. Really go to town on them. Silly makeup, cut their hair, do that really annoying finger in the ear thing. Anything. Say unkind remarks, spin them around until they're dizzy, make them eat a salad with no dressing. Just totally dry salad them. It would serve as a deterrent aswell. Noones gonna be out there robbin' knowing they might get dry saladed. I honestly don't know why I'm not paid for my very great ideas.
