I just moved away from Santa Barbara and reading stuff like that just makes me want to go home...sniff. Not that Menlo Park is that bad, it's just not Santa Barbara.

I think they are cute and I love the bright colors. Also my kitchen is tiny and I have a kettle and a toaster so this would save a little bit of room where space is at a premium.

I like it but I also think it should be removable/interchangable.

That is really creepy. If you can't actually afford an alarm you might want to at least get the sticker that says you have one. Tell the cops and neighbors so that they know to be on the look out too.
