    You could do what I did to keep people in my apartment complex from
stealing the sunday morning paper.


   Take the following:

        two (2) car batteries
        one (1) car horn - availible at any junk yard
        one (1) switching mechanism 


    The paper was slid out from under my door each sunday by one of
my friendly neighbors. I ran a string through the fold and connected
it to a switch which drove a mighty PDP-11 power supply connected to
a few car horns - haven't lost a paper in months :-) although they
did make noises about evicting me for being noisy :-( the switch for your
project is the only tricky part - good luck!
