Make your stuff ugly to protect it this year!

I have been reading with much interest about the length people go through to make their stuff darn ugly, just so that other people will not steal it.

Take your home packed lunch at the office pantry for example. There’s always some weirdo stealing someone else’s lunch, prepacked fruits, homemade chocolate cake or that yogurt tub from the office fridge. Apparently, just writing down your name on your prepacked food is not enough to deter these thieves. Some of the more creative ways to deter a thief is to make the plastic bag you stored your food in to look like it has mod in it. Or, you could put a pre printed “best by date” on the packaged food to make it look like it has expired.

Then, there’s Jimmy P Rodgers who took a really pricey camera and messed it up real well just so it wouldn’t get stolen on his trip to Brazil.

Then, there’s these two ways to uglify an iPhone. Ughhhh!

Now, if only there’s a way to uglify my pen in such a way that I won’t keep losing them!
