The pinhole camera that showed everything.
"Another Saturday night," groaned Thomas. He mopped up a mess of spilled beer at the back of his convenience store. Some punk knocked it off the shelf, and then ran out the door without even apologizing.
As he bent down to pick up the shards of broken glass, a heard what he could swear sounded like snakes hissing. He straightened himself up -- and stared directly into the barrel of a shotgun.
"You stay where you are, old man, and you stay alive," growled the masked gunman. The gunman glanced at his accomplice, who was spraying black paint over the lens of the security camera behind Thomas' register. The accomplice hopped down from the counter and flashed a thumbs up sign at the gunman.
The gunman ripped the ski mask from his face and complained. "I hate those things," he said. "I can never see what I'm doing. Now, open up the safe and you get to live."
Thomas complied, moving behind the counter to enter the manual override combination into his counter safe. He piled all of the evening's receipts into a brown paper bag and passed it along to the thieves. The lead gunman boasted on the way out the door, "You see? When you pick the right place, you can do these jobs in style. No goofy masks and no hurry!"
Thomas just smiled. As soon as the thieves pulled out of the parking lot, he called 9-1-1. When the detectives asked Thomas to provide a description, he smiled and said, "I can do a lot better than that."
Everyone in the room stared at Thomas' split-screen security video. They watched the thieves disable the parking lot camera, followed by the blacking out of the two inside lenses. But a 4th frame showed everything that happened that night, especially the unmasking of the robbers.
"I don't get it," one of the cops said, craning his neck around the room. "They cased this place out and took out the cameras. How'd they miss that one?" Thomas grinned and pointed at the Electrical Box.
A pinhole security camera peeked out at everyone in the room.
"That sign does a lot more than show folks the way out of the store," Thomas said. "It shows criminals the way off the streets."
Sure enough, Thomas captured crystal clear images of the thieves practically staring into the camera. Once those pictures hit the local news, the cops had them both in custody within a matter of hours. They hadn't even had time to spend the money.
And they looked better with the masks on.

PS: Every business owner knows he needs security. From employees who steal from him, customers who shoplift and thieves who break in. Most people are "under-protected" and admit that "they ought to buy these products unfortunately after it’s too late. Don’t let that happen to you.
