Just one more thing I was reminded of by Lin K's post:
I lived in a VERY rough part of a large metro area and was restoring a car in my driveway in plain sight. All I had was a dilapidated and falling down garage for parts storage of very rare parts, with many still on the car.
I just made out a 5 X 7 index card posted on the windshield with the words: 'THE NEIGHBORS ARE WATCHING YOU' and never had any lost parts.
That's different from the 'Neighborhood Watch' signs, as all thieves are very used to those, ho-hum, back to business. Posting an unexpected sign like that makes what's left of their brain have to work, and as most are into drugs, it lets their own ever-present paranoia kick in! "Wow, man, somebody is watching us...."
Plain sight, no threat, no legal hassles, no messy bodies. I hate that last part, 'cause I dont have a backhoe....
