Re: A touch of irony
If your intention is burglary, then you _WANT_ the ring device on there.
Here's how it works:
Perp turns up at house with hoodie and mask covering face and hangs around.
Ring device: "can I help you???" (in sarcastic voice, for it is the homeowner on holiday)
Perp pulls out clipboard "can you sign for this parcel?"
Ring: "no I can't"
Perp then knows owner is out, so it's safe to go a-burgling.
