Hmmn, how about -

Item 1:
A brick resting on the door, on opening the brick obeys its natural
downward tendancy impacting the thief who emits a sonic scream.

Item 2:
A logger (eg a dictaphone) inside the box, logs the scream for later
identification based upon pitch (male/female/chorister) and intensity
(well 'ard/wuss/management)  - it has the sideline advantage of later
identification by looking for signs of the impact of item 1 on the
empoyees.


For anyone who didn't notice: this is a joke
