Laura spotted this punchline of a note (“you know it’s time to move out when…”) at her apartment building in downtown Brooklyn. Or rather, her former apartment building. It’s unclear whether the note-leaver was motivated by recent research suggesting that pictures of eyes may deter crime.
Meanwhile, Kim in Worcester, Massachusetts spotted a convenience store taking a similarly whimsical approach to theft prevention.
![Did you know? Stealing is a crime. When we catch you we will call the police and have you arrested. We are watching you and so are the camera's [sic]. Say cheese!](https://farm3.static.flickr.com/2191/2068502975_8bc60bdcb1_b.jpg "Did you know? Stealing is a crime. When we catch you we will call the police and have you arrested.

Ahh, the eye of justice sees all.
Also, thanks for the criminal law tips. I didn’t know stealing was wrong. Those must be great deterrent signs.
I love hyphenating “ass-hole”. It’s kinda classy!

Well… they DO say that “Knowing is half the battle” – So I do know… NOW!
I wonder if you get caught for stealing if “I’m illiterate and couldn’t read the sign, therefore I did not know stealing was a crime” is a good enough defense?

You know, that eye looks kind of blurry, like it’s on drugs of some sort. Thus, the eye of justice is a hypo-critical crack-head.
Hmmm… hyphenation is fun!

You have to admire the evil genius of breaking into a building in order to steal the locks off the doors. And really, if the best you can threaten the thief with is being caught by a cyclops. . . I mean, it’s not like it’s the heisa monster.

Every law you disobey
Every time you don’t pay
All the stock that goes astray
That I wanted to purvey
I’ll be watching you
Oh, can’t you see

You put your liberty at stake
With every thing you take
Every lock you take
And every move you make
Every time you break
And enter, Jake,
I’ll be watching you
Since it’s gone, I’ve been lost without a trace
But on security-cam I can see your face
I look around; all my stuff, you will replace
You were told; there are signs all over the place

I have to question why a thief would commit a B&E only to steal the locks off the doors. First of all, why are the locks outside of the doors? Second, is the shit you own so worthless the thief can’t even get a few bucks at a pawn shop?
Why the random capitalization? Is there some sort of psychosis not being dealt with? Why was this note written on paper towel from a public bathroom? Why isn’t there a fountain of smart? Why hasn’t someone put more chlorine in the gene pool? Where is Darwin when you need him?

I’ve thought about it and thought about it but I just can’t figure it: how do you steal the locks off of doors? I mean, are these doors padlocked shut? Are they living in some renovated (but not entirely) gymnasium? Is the ass-hole using some kind of circular saw and cutting around the dead-bolts? (If this took place in a Looney Tunes cartoon, the first lock would have stayed there and the door would have flattened Yosemite Sam.)
Although, a better question would be “why”? Hmm. Maybe they need the locks to secure their stolen dirt “and all” in a big shed?

Hey, the writer must have read this article:
http://www.ncl.ac.uk/press.office/press.release/content.phtml?ref=1157534763
“A Newcastle University experiment which found a way of making people act more honestly has provided inspiration for a police campaign.
The experiment, which gained global media attention, found that people put nearly three times as much money into a unsupervised coffee room cash collection box when they were being watched by a pair of eyes on a poster.
Now West Midlands Police are using the idea in an initiative called Operation Momentum, which is aimed at tackling the rise in crime that traditionally occurs in the autumn.
Promotional posters feature a distinctive picture of eyes carrying the message ‘We’ve got our eye on criminals’, which police say was inspired by the experiment by Newcastle University psychology researchers led by Dr Melissa Bateson. “

Forgot to put a smiley on #99.
It was not a serious question, I was trying to address the note.
I hope no one was offended…probably did not see the movie in #100 where Chris Rock goes into a barbeque joint and asks for the price of an order of ribs and after being told, checks his money and says “Let me get one rib.”

CB, for your excessive explanatory attempts to not offend, I fear you must wear the Unitard for fifteen minutes.

Love that movie.
I think if they would’ve drawn some red veins in the eye, it would have made it more threatening and effective.

#102 – SM – To quote one of my favorite movies (since seem to be doing that right now)
“What’s a YUTE?”
& re#106 – Red veins would not be more threatening, most people might assume the eye owner is stoned and therefore probably off looking for some pop-tarts or fanta…

Mishee – don’t think we didn’t catch your post-commentation enlargement. Suddenly Pop-tarts and Fanta appear, and as a result, we are confused.
So, how long must you wear the Unitard to absolve yourself?

Touché, on the red veins in the eye.
I make a preposition:
That GW wear the Unitard for arbitrarily, randomly, and indiscriminately proposing that others wear the unitard today.
I also propose that he get a limit, perhaps only three passses a day. Use them wisely, GW, or else: The Unitard

3 per day? 3 per Day??
Talk about a limited preposition; it’s smaller than, “of“!

I have never worn the unitard, and hope never to don it, but I did like wearing the italic. My grandmother (who was Italian) used to perform the evil eye (in Italian called Mal’occhio), which involved her saying a bunch of prayers (my father called mumbo-jumbo) over a bowl of water, and dropping oil (olive pref) into the bowl. If the oil didn’t separate, then the person she was praying for had been given the evil eye, which means someone had wilfully wished something bad on that person. Usually this was her remedy for when you said you had a headache. It was quite an ordeal, and we kids used to say we had a headache all the time, just to see her do it. But I don’t think that’s what the PAN writer meant by the eyeball in the sign, do you?

I’m not sure (not being Italian) but I think (I have a good idea) that w,r (short for “Writer, Rejected) might just have set a Guiness (keepers of the World Book of Records) record for most parentheses (()) in one post.

“hole” is slang for ass in Ireland (maybe elsewhere?) so “Ass-Hole” is quite a heavy hitter

I love that the person in charge of writing this note is probably in some sort of administrative position and clearly does not know when to use a hyphen.
OH and don’t get me started on “camera’s”. I learned the appropriate use of apostrophes in the 3rd or 4th grade.

Oh God. “Camera’s”? Who T.F. would put an apostrophe there?
That’s just plain cringe-inducing.
