Personally, I wouldn't put either sign on my house, but then I don't really
think I need to where I live, at least not yet. As for my son, he lives in a
rougher part of town. I don't think he even has a water pistol, as far as I
know. I think even one of those might have to be registered here in Canada
now. And any thief who invades when he's not home would kill themselves
laughing at the mess and clutter, if they could get through it. Anything
they stole would save him carrying it down the 3 flights to the curb. (OM
content - with maybe the exception of the OMPC he has of mine)
