        They shouldn’t be. If the police can’t effectively detour crime, we shouldn’t have to rely on the 2nd amendment to protect our stuff - excuse me, defend ourselves.

      And if someone picks it up in good faith? Trapping something that is locked away and could only be a theft attempt is one thing, but this is a cooler sitting out in the open. There are plenty of reasons a well-meaning person might pick it up.

      This isn’t reasonable theft detterent, this is sadism.
