DIY Techno-hacksOld hard drive platters make wonderfully good drinks coasters - they look dead smart and expensive and you've stopped people reading your old data into the bargain.
Have you taped all your remotes together, peep-show-style? Have you wired your doorbell to the toilet? What enterprising DIY have you done with technology?
Extra points for using sellotape rather than solder.

You need to be carefulMy old man is an electronics engineer, one of his colleagues used to own a sierra cosworth back in the day. Fed up with people attempting to nick it, he wired the body to an electric fence transformer (inverter?). He found himself in court after a traffic warden leant on it.
Although, my dad armed my mums' MG metro with 4 sirens under the drivers seat. It was bastard loud when the doors were shut :)

I remember reading a news article about something like that once,May have been the same guy!
Mine only "had" you if (a) you'd set the alarm off and (b) you were trying to open the bonnet, so no warden zapping.
