Ive been thinking of wiring the star directly to the battery in future![]()

Might be better wiring it up to the mains, or the nearest street light. That'll teach 'em.KillerHERTZ said:Ive been thinking of wiring the star directly to the battery in future![]()

I think you would make a mess of it . . . or you would need to seriously polish it afterwards. Plus given that the way the law works in this country, if somebody were to injure themselves trying to nick it again, you would probably have the book thrown at you !!KillerHERTZ said:Seriously, I think I will file down the edges (inside and out) to make it sharp,
I take it the star isnt crome leaf? and this wouldnt make a mess of it?

I believe it's called a "leaf" switch."
"The trick is make sure you adjust it in such a manner it doesn't stay on. Probably once a month I come out of the grocery store and the star is crooked from an attempted theft. I've always been hoping to catch someone in the act but so far only the occasional car wash worker has set it off in my presence - they really jump!"
