You're wondering who I am-machine or mannequin
With parts made in Japan, I am the modern man

The deluxe model also fires a high tensile carbon tipped taser wire three inches into the intruder and then passes a 327,000 volt direct current through the intruder for 3 minutes. Twin fans discreetly placed to the front of the robot swiftly clear the air of the rather acrid smell of burnt flesh.

Ah yes, we can all dream...
However, setting Man Traps* is illegal nowadays and Japanese laws for the protection of property and self are weak (seemingly non-existent) compared to Anglo-law countries.

Tonikaku . . . I'd love to get that deluxe Taser model you describe. My house was cleaned out my Chinese "picking" buglers last year---my third break-in for the past 15 years.


*Protection of property and self...
One is not permitted to set up traps to kill or maim persons who attempt to trespass on his/her property. There is a responsibility to warn trespassers of dangerous conditions and an inherent risk of injuries. You may not use a deep pit to catch trespassers or rigged shotgun to kill a trespasser.

Thats sillly.

If someone comes onto MY property illegally, then they are fair game IMO.

I follow the law. But its my opinion.

Do you live in Chinatown. Had a good friend that lived very close to Yamashita Park. Also, do you remember the American House (AmeHouse) Bar just off Yamashita dori?

Damn, I was back there 3 months ago and all the places I used to hang out are gone. Except for the Denny's near Yokohama stadium. I think that was still there. Windjammer is still there too I think.

Do you live in a Mansion, or a house? When my father-in-law built his house, he put in all of these security cameras and dead locks (the front door is impossible to kick in). No picking yet... knock on wood.

I work on the northern edge of Chinatown and it's REALLY changing---going highrise. The old dives are going out of business----no more OPM.

Worst part is they caught the burglars but I got nothing back. However, the burglars are now earning 3 times more than the average salary in China while staying in Fuchu Prison.

I live in a concrete cage "Mansion". Everyone in the end units (not visible from the street) were hit the same afternoon. All my webcam got was a few blurs before it was taken. The new TiBook they stole had PGP file encryption and phone-home software---the poor bastards had to replace the hard disk to sell or use it.

My previous robberies were in Tokyo ... I surprised and scared the crap out the shy whimpy Japanese burglars.

The number of times I go out without locking the front door to my place scares even myself. I guess I have been lulled into a false sense of security. But I have started locking up more often recently as there have been too many Jehovahs witnesses dropping by lately..

I live in a concrete mansion too.. but there is nothing really worth taking in there except perhaps my virtue..
