BG> ROFL! It needs to work at NIGHT, when most burglars do their prowling. 

BL> You use the solar cells to charge a battery, you dickhead - 

Oh really?  Jeez, I'd never have thought of that.  What a novel idea!

BL> in case the burglar trips over the extension lead and hurts himself.

Which reminds me, do you remember that fellow Goetz in NY who shot 4 blacks
who tried to rob him on a train about 10 years ago?  Well one of the
robbers was completely paralysed as a result and decided to sue for
damages.  Well he won the case, and just yesterday, a NY court ordered
Goetz to pay this black bastard US$54 million.  Can you fucking believe
that?  I'm speechless.

Burglars are so stupid that they'd likely read that as meaning that you
keep your electrical appliances in that shed, which on reflection, is
probably not such a bad thing after all.  :)
