Default Hilarious Antitheft Device Prototype Clip



These guys came up with a way to deter bicycle theft that is straight hilarity. It hasn't come over to the ATV scene yet (to the best of our knowledge) but we're definitely hoping somebody has a video camera ready when it does:

I like it. I have no compassion for thieves. I think it was these same guys who once had an electrified bike seat. Another time it was a long thin rope that put a few guys over the handlebars when they hit the end.

A few thumb tacks planted in the air bag would make it even funnier to watch these thieves,but would probably lead to lawsuits..

Love it.

Was thinking penalties need to start resembling the crime for them to work. These guys are way ahead of the curve.

I think I remember seeing some sort of auto antitheft device many years ago. It was never actually used but if someone tried to break into the car, it shot flames at the would be thief. I can't stand thieves either. I work very hard for everything I have. Thieves are too lazy to work, they just want to steal. In some countries, you can still get a hand cut off for getting caught stealing. I think that's not a bad idea.

I keep thinking about these guys and many like them. You better have good reason to use any kind of force.Montana man charged with shooting teen in his garage - CBS News Taylor homeowner could face charges in shooting of intruder in his detached garage - WXYZ.com

I think you can buy the flamethrower for your car in South Africa. I saw a video from there that said it was for use against carjackers.
