When I was very young, my father told me about a craftsman who was
working on the county fairgrounds grand stand and also had a '32 Ford
roadster.

During the summer, he kept the back opened and his tools in plain site.

A guy once attempted to reach in and pick up a tool, but got knocked
flat on his rear end.

Seems the craftsman had rigged up an ignition coil that connected to
the car frame.

If you touched the car, 20,000 volts suggested that was not a smart
decision.

I guess I'd better mention that the law does not look kindly on these
lethal little gadgets - or as a policeman once told me: if you're
doubtful whether your deterrent is legal, better kill than injure!!
Dead men tell no tales...he said. :-)
