Rogers Having lived in NYC before coming to the Boston area, I can tell many true horror stories of criminals who got "pissed off" for one reason or another finding the home of the original victim and burning it down &/or killing someone there. Unless you are going to use a system that will 100% of the time KILL a burgler, don't bother just pissing him off :-) Of couse, make sure you never accidentally trigger it yourself... -- Simcha-Yitzchak Lerner {genrad|ihnp4|ima}!wjh12!talcott!sesame!slerner {cbosgd|harvard}!talcott!sesame!slerner slerner%sesame@harvard.ARPA
