257.4 nanometer concentrated UV light will scare away any potential crook. If it doesn't scare him away, it will give him cataracts and sunburn.

       There are scores of highly effective crime-stopping ideas that would be entirely bakable if not for the annoying fact that it can't be potentially dangerous to the innocent. Flame throwers on cars, etc. This unfortunately is one of them. Fishbone.
