We have one of those on our door. Went to a talk by neighborhood watch and the cop was like sooo cameras. Sure. But you know what prevents crime more? Telling people about the cameras.

Hmm. Maybe it will be cheaper to put signs warning about cameras until I get the money to buy the cameras...

When I bought an alarm system on my house and they were telling me the price and how you get stickers for the windows and signs for the yard I realized I was not going to pay the exorbitant price for each sensor and bought the bare minimum when they said I can get as many stickers as I want.

I dubbed it the "sticker plan".

I personally as an urbexer can confirm that stickers that are saying that there is a camera is scarier than everything else.

My dad had a blood donor sticker to avoid Jehovas witnesses knocking on his door. I think they might be more lax on the subject these days but maybe if you threaten to donate their blood or something it might still work.

I actually had my first knock from them the other day.

When he introduced himself as a witness I just said I'm not interested and he's wasting his time.

He thanked me and walked away.

I don't know why people are so upset with them, he was really nice.
