When it comes to home security, there are two schools of thought: you either go high tech to protect your home and spare no expense or you go seriously low-tech and hope it does the trick. If you fall into the latter mindset, meet your new security system: the motion sensing duck. Yeah, I said duck. It looks like you just have a "quirky" sense of outdoor decorating until someone gets too close, and then BAM! They get mildly annoyed by a loud quacking noise. Yes, that's your new security system. What do you expect for $11? It might be better used in your bedroom if you want to keep your thieving roommates away from your DVD collection than as a serious security device for your home, but it's your call.
