You may well have seen this before, but it doesn’t stop it from being awesome. People with expensive houses are always looking for good intruder alarm systems these days, and cars are no different. In this case, the jumbo marshmallow toaster you see attached to the bottom of this BMW is a feature you can get to protect your car from pesky thieves – but only in South Africa. Seems they’re the only people mad enough to allow it in the first place!

Anyway, this got me to thinking. Seeing as this is an extreme way to stop people stealing your belongings, what if there were more comical ways? What about some kind of Inspector Gadget style contraption with a big robotic arm which comes from the top of the car, whacking a great big fishing net over the person trying to nab your wheels, keeping them restrained until the cops come round while making sure they’re visible to any passers-by, showing them up for the thieving scum they are…

Or, how about this – a giant cannon which sprays foam out which is fast drying and damn strong. Coat the bottom of their bodies and watch them be unable to move, like some kind of chavvy human statue. Something like the foam you see in the awesome Stallone film Demolition Man when the car crashes into the lake… Yeees, eeexcellent.
