I like the cunning behind that.

like the cardboard policemen in some shops round here. you catch them in the corner of your eye and even though i’m no shoplifter i feel like someones there watching me. freaky

Weird, just reading this at the same time the story is on the radio.

genius!

pretty sure on some tv prog mrs was watching the other night about shoplifters, one of them was being charged for theft of a cardboard policeman 😆

It’s like the Derren Brown episode where people were less likely to cheat on a test/game if they believed a chair in the room had a ghost sitting in it!

DrP

what the study lacks is a control sign without the eye graphic saying something like – “you’re being watched” or “we monitor cycle theft in this area”.

interesting none the less. I might put one on my shed.

. I might put one on my shed.

I was thinking huge posters on every wall in the shed. 😈

no, the large rabid dogs that live in my shed would eat them thinking they were thieves.
