- AmyVernon, on 10/28/2009, -0/+48Very cool, except the chances of your investment being trashed are pretty likely if you live in a neighborhood where mischief is rampant and pumpkins are smashed, doncha think?
- GregFD3S, on 10/29/2009, -0/+30"We've come up with a camera so tiny it fits into this oversized novelty hat."

- MuffinPatrol, on 10/29/2009, -0/+18Wouldn't it be easier just to fill the pumpkin with spiders?
- ericjbolt, on 10/29/2009, -0/+13"Here is the footage officer. Clearly we are looking for a batman, a ghost and a scarecrow."
- WordsnCollision, on 10/28/2009, -2/+15It's a peepkin tom.
- ohplease, on 10/29/2009, -0/+11It's Halloween, defend your house with a battle axe.
- mrdeadhead, on 10/29/2009, -1/+11oh man it'll be so smart to put blatant cameras inside pumpkins on a night when everyone's wearing masks, that'll never backfire and get you house trashed, cameras stolen, and your pumpkins ***** in.
- rebo2, on 10/29/2009, -0/+9Not if they smash your pumpkin camera.
- xero69, on 10/29/2009, -0/+8This year I'm just going to rig my jack o' lantern to explode the moment someone picks it up. What could possibly go wrong?
- CourageWulf, on 10/28/2009, -5/+10Usually I set a bowl of candy on my porch before I go out. Last year I hadn't left yet and I caught some teenagers taking a ***** load treats after my ***** sign said "take 2." They were pants ***** surprised to see I was still home.
- eclaires, on 10/28/2009, -0/+5Yeah. Seems it might be more effective to just keep an eye out your window.
- juliusthecat, on 10/29/2009, -1/+6I think it's more about holding people accountable who do damage to your property.
- satcomer, on 10/29/2009, -0/+5I knew of a guy in my old home town that taped a pump shotgun sound (not blast though) and somehow set it to a motion detector. A couple the kids the next day were passing around how they were scared ***** buy hearing a shotgun when getting ready to smashing his Jack-O-Laterns. When he asked me if any spoke of it he laughed so hard he nearly pissed his pants. Him being a EE probably helped him in his hobby though.
- nori0300, on 10/29/2009, -0/+5Twilight sucks!
- BookaShade, on 10/29/2009, -0/+4I thought the only way to stop vandals on halloween was to sit in your bushes with a hose.
- tryptonaut, on 10/29/2009, -1/+4That's great and all, until they steal your pumpkin. It's quite common for teenagers to steal pumpkins and smash them on the roads.
- ViciousFishes, on 10/29/2009, -0/+3I used to sit on my parents front porch dressed up like a scarecrow. Nothing better than jumping up at the right time and reminding some of these kids that Halloween can be just as much about the tricks as it is the treats.
- palehorse864, on 10/29/2009, -1/+4This won't work if Billy Corgan decides to vandalize your house.
- inactive, on 10/29/2009, -1/+4Well they can smash the pumpkin, I'd rather keep the camera thank you.
- palehorse864, on 10/29/2009, -0/+3You're just lucky you didn't run into this guy.

wow thank god he didnt have to walk over to the window and look outside - spookyttws, on 10/29/2009, -0/+2Cool idea, and although I've been lucky enough to never have experienced such prankery (and our mailboxes aren't out at the street either), I'd be less interested in catching the pranksters and more interested in getting even. I'd take down the mailbox (just as the author and his father did) and replace it with a dummy one rigged to splatter the same stinky, gooey material on anyone who tried to open it. Of course it would be necessary to promptly replace the original one the next morning if you actually like your mailman.
- Genma, on 10/29/2009, -0/+2eh that's old tech, get with the times. I got one so tiny that it fits into this oversized beard, direct from Mann Co.
http://tf2wiki.net/w/images/4/41/Spybeard.png - yacks, on 10/29/2009, -0/+2I'd rather set up a pumpkin with a flame thrower... Kill them with Fire!
- Sux4Bux, on 10/29/2009, -1/+3I'm thinking rest the candle on top of a container of gasoline. Pick it up and they get a 3rd degree nasty surprise!
- RadiatedAnt, on 10/29/2009, -0/+2note to self: steal all pumpkins
- StripeyMagee, on 10/28/2009, -2/+4Damn it's hard to piss, run while pissing and laughing your head off after the guy comes out his front door yealling at you. No, really it is.
- ZincSaucier, on 10/29/2009, -0/+2example of a poor response to halloween vandalism: hide expensive electronics inside of outdoor decoration
- supremegoat02, on 10/29/2009, -0/+2That's two words...two and a half at best
- immatellyouwhat, on 10/29/2009, -0/+2dugg for effort.
- ZincSaucier, on 10/29/2009, -1/+2why not fill it with nothing.. so it's completely worthless before they ruin it
- DiggerLater, on 10/29/2009, -0/+1Creepy halloween pumpkin has just been raised to a new level. The pumpking is watching you. The pumpkin knows what you are doing.
- klausany, on 10/31/2009, -0/+1http://fotogrossomodo.blogspot.com/
- KingFog, on 10/29/2009, -0/+1You could mine the driveway as well, just to make damn sure.
- rushnerd, on 10/29/2009, -0/+1Three words: Over-sized Flypaper.
- kagyakusha, on 10/29/2009, -0/+1the little bastards in my neighbourhood always got the pumpkin first...
I just learned to decorate INSIDE the window...rather than have to deal with the little bastards.
The cops don't care, and their parents sure as hell don't care or they wouldn't be out doing it. - agentsrecord, on 10/29/2009, -1/+2"Alright, let's see who the culprit was!" And then cut to the video of a kid, fully costumed, running up and the last image the camera catches is a close up of the kid's shoe.
- supremegoat02, on 10/29/2009, -0/+1Seems like a lot of words for a two step process.
Step 1: Carve pumpkin
Step 2: Insert wireless camera in to pumpkin. - samurimaster, on 10/30/2009, -0/+1or a pellet gun
- hereticoftruth, on 10/29/2009, -1/+1The best defense IS proof in court. Do your civic duty and take the fun out of Halloween pranks and the punks out of circulation. Taking justice into your own hands will land you on the wrong side of the bars, not them.
- Barackalypse, on 10/29/2009, -3/+3I don't want to catch them after the fact, I want to stop them before any damage occurs, and in Texas, they're cool with that:
Sec. 9.41. PROTECTION OF ONE'S OWN PROPERTY. (a) A person in lawful possession of land or tangible, movable property is justified in using force against another when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the force is immediately necessary to prevent or terminate the other's trespass on the land or unlawful interference with the property.
http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/PE/htm/ ... - f1sheyes, on 10/29/2009, -1/+1If you're going to be so militant about this why not just drop a family friendly Claymore mine in the thing?? Not only do you keep your house safe (give or take the structural damage) but you also get to loot all the bodies for the sugary bounty.
- BigVi, on 10/29/2009, -2/+2or realize that its a damn pumpkin and get over it. Is it worth risking a hundred bucks on a 5 dollar pumpkin?
- juankovo, on 10/29/2009, -5/+4Cool story bro.
- GregFD3S, on 10/29/2009, -4/+2It's so obvious, you can see it in the eye.
- Sil369, on 10/29/2009, -4/+1just admit they took a dump in ur jackolantern
