Also add a _very_ loud alarm in teh shed, one that will /not/ give

In my experience, unless there is someone living nearby who would
actually give a damn about the noise, they are useless, as a whack with
a heavy object breaks them; as my father discovered with his garage.

A mad old boy with an allotment plot close to me set some trip wires,
linked to something which fired off blank shotgun shells. Heard they
did go off a couple of times, and there very no problems with chavs
after that! Guess they wouldnt be able to tell if the shells were live
or not, so probably didnt want to risk it again. Get the feeling
though that if the police got to hear about this particular "alarm"
system, that they would probably find something to charge the old boy
with................
