Great scenario for a movie: Cops trip motion sensor in the yard activating flashing red warning lights in the house. Family immediately sets about lighting candles all over the house. When swat team gathers at the doors to the house, Dad presses panic button which activates an electric Holly high performance automotive fuel pump that directs gasoline from the container in the garage through paint spray nossels positioned over each door. Team, now soaked with gas, sees candles inside, Team leader screams “FOR GOD SAKES HOLD YOUR FIRE!”, Team retreats. No one killed, cops embarrassed.
