Best anti-theft device I ever heard of was in Houston many years ago.
There was a pawn shop that thieves liked to break into. The owners tried several surveillance, anti-theft devices with no luck. Since the owners were a couple of good ol' Tx boys, they came up with a pretty unique theft deterrent.
The purchased a large aquarium, placed it in the front window, built a secure lid and placed two large rattle snakes in the aquarium. They posted signs above the aquarium and on all doors saying: Snakes are turned loose at closing time" and they really did turn them loose.
The store made the news and the reporter asked the owner how he opened up in the morning. The owner said "very carefully".
The pawn shop was never broken in to again.
