Eyeball security system
After a recent rash of Wallmonster eyeball thefts, it became clear that I needed to install an Eyeball Security System:
It's wired up to set off an alarm if anybody steals the eyeballs.
With such a disorganized circuit design, it might look like it was wired up by a mental patient, but it's all part of the protection scheme. If it's confusing looking, nobody can crack it (don't listen to Schneier and his claims that security-through-obscurity will never work, bah).
Each eyeball is coated with tin foil, which completes an electric circuit when it's in place touching the two wires.
Here's the obligatory YouTube video of the system in action:

Hmm, is that an on/off switch? Are those crocodile clips going to the battery? If I were to do an Indiana Jones and replace the eyeball with a coin, would the alarm not go off? Is that teeny round thing the buzzer?
Heh, good job though. 🙂

Hey where is that video of me stealing them? That’s so funny!

Yes, that’s a big “On/Off” switch right on the security system, and you can easily unplug the power or swap in a coin to defeat it. All will become clear in the next post..
