That might leave you rather red-faced, so to speak. ;o) > Some ideas on a delivery system would be appreciated. My thoughts - Just about anything will provide a decent face squirting mechanism. A small CO2 cannister like used in soda bottle, a solenoid to puncture it and some tubing in your dash. My apprentices caught a young car thief near our shop in the carpark, tried to detain him but he got violent and got away. Mongrel. I did a security license course many moons ago, apparently as citizens arrest you are allowed to detain a crim if you catch them in the act, maybe the fact they are in your car qualifies for that? But if designing an entrapment system you might want to know that the standard way these mongrels operate is with a lead sinker on a string, goes straight through a car window and almost noiselessley. My apprentices got the joy of watching this mongrel do the act before accosting him. I really can't understand these losers. Once when unemployed (17 years ago?) I got so desperate I ended up at the sunday church free-food handout, it's amazing how good cheap soup and 2 day old bread tastes when you are hungry. But I didn't stoop to the level of stealing to eat. These guys steal for what? Boredom? The high voltage alarm sounds good to me, f^&% the NZ laws. -Roman -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways. See http://www.piclist.com/#archives for details.
