Next message: Doug Barnard: "RE: lv-ab: Needed: Velcro Engineer"
My sister use to be a flight attendant. She had a little battery operated
box that fit on the door knob. If it shook or there was a loud noise it
emitted the sound of a loud barking growling dog. It worked so well one
night the hotel called and told her she could not keep a dog in her room. I
always thought a couple of those would make a good boat alarm.
