I hate it when people go through my things. I mean, why would you go into someone’s personal space and violate their trust like that? It’s just despicable. It’s not like I have anything to hide, I just don’t want people touching my shit. Now, if you live alone, it’s not that hard to tell if someone’s been messing with your stuff, but if you’ve got roommates, it can get ugly. You could change your locks or install a high tech surveillance system, but that sounds like a lot of work and not very exciting at that. No, the defense system I propose is much more creative.
If you had the Indiana Jones Room Booby Trap Set (Perpetual Kid, $59.99), you would no longer be plagued with incessant break-ins and burglaries. This set comes with two different booby traps, inspired by the Indiana Jones movies, designed to ward off potential intruders. At the heart of each booby trap is an idol replica, one of which shoots darts and the other drops spiders (don’t worry, they’re fake). All you need to do is attach your idol of choice to the outside of the door you want to protect, and then wait for a lurking intruder. The set also comes with an educational field notebook so you can document your findings.
Alright, so maybe this isn’t the most sophisticated protection system and a lot of you might be a little too old for something like this, but you have to admit that it’s pretty neat. And just think of how cool you would be if you got this for your son/daughter or niece/nephew. Well, you might want to include a copy of the movies for them too, because they probably have no idea who Indiana Jones is. Just leave out the latest one. No one wants to see that.
3 out of 5 stars.
