The Human Flypaper is a super sticky mat that you leave just inside your doorway when you leave home. If a burglar succeeds in breaking in via your front door, he’ll step on the thing and will likely get stuck to it.

In theory, this might sound like a good idea, but in practice, we think the device might just have the opposite effect on the thief. Just try to imagine: If YOU would get stuck to something like this and would finally free yourself after struggling with it for a while, wouldn’t you feel venting your anger on the owner’s property, wrecking everything around you?
