I'm getting sick of seeing this guy. Can't imagine they're very effective. It's pretty insulting though, even to shoplifters. Like a scarecrow for people. I'm avoiding shopping at places that employ them since it really shows how lowly they think of their customers. While i'm at it, I may as well complain about those stupid counterfeit pens that've become popular too. As far as I know they work on the principle that starch turns black in the presence of iodide salts (they might've changed since I last read about them though). This of course assumes that counterfeiters have produced a fantastic fake bank note that includes the metallic strip, watermark, microscopic lettering, fluorescent ink, and a hologram. But they goofed up and used the cheapest paper going. |

New ?? Been around for several years. No. I don't see they're much use either. Who would want to pinch crisps anyway? Kettle Chips maybe ... :drool: Dave |

To me it looks like an insult to police force. Some poor sod thinkking that a small sad looking cardboard manequin would somehow compare with real thing. Serious OT: My daughter had a good laugh when she visited London and a patrol car rushed to a doughnut shop, parked really sloppy and huriedly and officers walked to order some doughnut.... that must have been a really serious emergency of sugar deficiency.
