Would liquid nitrogen bugger that?
Otherwise you'd need some kind of scrambling device at the scene. Or the cops would be straight to the door of the chem lab/urban science park.
DJ Squelch said:What dye do they use? Crystal violet maybe, thats a bugger to get off.
Easy peasy...Dante said:What about the GPS tracking device though?

Good plan.WouldBe said:Freeze it in transit. Empty the box and chuck it out the back of the vehicle.
You want to chill the damn thing to almost absolute zero......Dante said:You would still need to open it in close to 0 Kelvin temperatures though. Unless you knew what the composition of the powder/dye was

It'll just be a GPS receiver with an RF transmitter, periodically sending out it's location. All you need to do is build a Faraday cage - just line the "opening" room with tin foil, connect up a few batteries, then those pesky RF signals ain't going nowhere.
Obviously you'd need to surround it by a smaller version to move it to the opening location - that could just be a suitcase lined with tin foil.

I went for the more complicated in my head - I was thinking along the lines of, a big lead lined lorry, drive van into lorry,, drive far away, then you'll have plenty of time to do the things that need doing,
- thats how the shoplifters get there gear passed the alarms innit? - with out the need for batteries and stuffhiccup said:Oh for fucks sake. Guess what the top google result is for Securicor Dye![]()

Blagsta said:This is also the method used to fool shop security alarms when shoplifting - a bag lined with tin foil. You can however get nicked for going equipped if caught with a tin foil lined bag.

What about if you hide stuff under your tin foil hat?Blagsta said:You can however get nicked for going equipped if caught with a tin foil lined bag.
They're hardly sealed metal boxes though, are they?WouldBe said:Vans by their very nature are metal boxes specially if they have no windows in them.![]()

RF signals are omnidirectional, they'll happily find even the tiniest gap. Besides which, a truly effect Faraday cage needs to be have a charge passed through it.

You may be right, my physics is a bit rusty....WouldBe said:Not sure that a faraday cage does need a charge passing through it.![]()

Security boxes nicked - 2 days before this thread was started![]()
