I remember seeing ads for video cassettes that did the
same sort of thing=

... load it into your VCR when unattended, and it'd scream (seem to=20
remember pictures of big cats??) when moved. This is of course when VCRs=
Maplin did a kit for this about 10 years ago -- I remmeber building it.
It worked quite well, and was less easy to disable, since if loaded into
a front-loading VCR, presumably the crook would unplug the VCR before
trying to move it, at which point he couldn't eject it without plugging
it in again...

cost =A3400 (US$700) and not the =A329 (US$49) I've seen them recently...
As I've said many times, I'd like to pay \pounds 1000 for a VCR. Maybe
that way I'd get a machine that produced a clear, stable, picture, worked
for longer than 91 dyas, and which had reasonable spares backup.
My Philips N1500 is 31 years old this year. It's still on its original
video heads -- the only replacements have been the belts, a repair to the
loading pulley, and a transistor in the audio circuit. Everything else is
original!
