Petruccelli L.T.D of North America says:  Fake it: Pretend you’re home watching your favorite show and deter burglars with FakeTV ($34), a small gizmo that glows and flashes like the flicker of a television set. FakeTV uses the same energy as a nightlight, and has a built-in light sensor and timer, which turns it on at dusk and off when you wish. Or use an electric flickering Christmas candle from bargain store and put it on a timer. The bonus is your home may smell like vanilla by the time you get home.
