I know some people who don't actually have an alarm system installed but put the sign on their lawn anyway. It works.
I didn't hear anyone mention how hot it is today. It's HOT. I was attacking the growth on the side of the house and these robins were carrying on at me. I finally saw they were still feeding a young one who was up in the tree next to me. Now where did I put my telephoto lens? That's why I came inside, to get camera for pic of them feeding junior. But without the big lens it'll just look like a picture of a tree.
Sober-p you can also do that trick from 'home alone' where the kid attaches big cutouts of people to the train set and they go around the room. Maybe?
