Growing up, I would see these little signs on lawns and stickers on windows reading “This Home is Protected by Such-and-Such Home Security” or similar. I always wondered if would-be burglars really steered clear of those signs, if they would really turn and run in the other direction at the sight of a little octagonal lawn ornament. It didn’t really seem to make sense that they would, but those signs had to be put up for a reason, right? Maybe you’d hurt the security people’s feelings if you took their sign down. Eventually, though, I started thinking about normal kid things like Pokémon and Dragon Ball Z instead of home security solutions.
