if it is successful, you'd be spening a good amount of time being sued, and i'd rather have something stolen, and covered by my insurance, than to go to court for weeks/months on end, just because of this

the chances of failure/accidental people shocked far outweighs the likelihood of this succeeding, atleast from the info/logic i'm gathering on this thread

it seems like its legally a gray area

like all my redneck friends say "if someone trespasses, its better to kill them than to injure them, cuz if they're alive, they can sue" and the sad thing is, they seem to have a good chance in court

by all means, it would be really cool if this worked, but as i've been reading for the last year on the anti-theft posts, 99% of the time, when you have a defense system that injures the theif, they will retaliate, the easier you make it, the less damage is caused, if you put razor blades behind your headunit, they will tear up your dash out of spite, the last thing a thief wants is to look/feel stupid, so if you make them look/feel stupid they'll get back at you

shock them on the handle, they'll bash in your windshield/slash your tires

make it hard to get in without injuring them, the best idea i've read on this topic, which i didn't follow up, is to put high pitched speakers that are hidden behind your dash, so they dont have enough time to find it before they can't stand the high pitch anymore, and they can't take out your screen because they're spending their whole time finding the siren/speaker, i like that idea

my advice, get a paging alarm system, and up your insurance, quickest/easiest way to do it, and the least hassle if actually broken into.
