    Another way (if you're really only) is to put shaving cream behind the door handle (outside door handle) then lock that door and watch them grab the handle and surprise look on their face. And sometimes if they're wearing cowboy boots and they expect the door is unlocked, they fall back from slipping on the handle and fall on their *SS. NO, I never did that to my trainer who would tickle my neck and ear with a feather at 3am when he was supposed to be sleeping in the bunk with curtains drawn. (I was just checking to see if you were awake...ya, right!) He got his....hehehe

    I always liked the spiked iron ball on the end of a stick! (I swear sometimes I think I lived another life in the past)

    Funny you say that. Got a motorhome in the back yard and my older ex-marine brother used to stay in there ( a lot ) one time hadn't seen him for days and wouldn't answer the door or his phone, so the police came out to do a welfare check. They were standing right in front of the door knocking loudly, and he thought it was me out there, so he just kicked the door violently-and wham! One of the officers got smacked in the face! He was talking with them for about twenty minutes after that. LoL

    Volvos have an air horn activated by pressing the center of the steering wheel, just like the horn in a 4 wheeler.

    Yup, so your idea won't work for any Volvo drivers. It's cute, though.

    My last Volvo only had a city horn, no air horn. It's easy to defeat an air horn, BTW.
