with electronics becoming cheaper every day, why not have a purse insert that includes a gps like lojack.
Or, a bluetooth enabled purse that after activating, if it is separated by 30 feet or more (cheap bluetooth range) it emits a shrieking noise and if it doesnt get your signal back by 30 seconds
it either tasers the person holding it or explosive ink/dye packs on the side blow, covering the culprit with blue or yellow paint.
a low tech solution would be a simple cord that goes around your wrist, if it gets pulled off you, the cord unplugs from a socket starting a 15 second timer, after that it makes a lot of noise or plays a pre recorded message, your choice. it could use a magnetic plug like the power adapters on macbooks.

There are anti-theft alarms for laptops which are set off by distance from a key fob. I'm just sayin'. |

Regarding your last paragraph,; why not chain the purse to your wrist?. In the 15 seconds of your scheme your purse will be gone anyway!
I'm jus' sayin' too! |

This fits nicely with my new lighted umbrella idea. If you were inspired by it you can put a link to it and call it inspiration.. I'm just sayin' also! |
|

Not a bad idea, but most of the objects you mention have power sources for their normal use. You can guarantee that the day it gets nicked is the day the battery went flat. |

Imagine the mess if you went for a run with just your watch on and left it on the kitchen table!!! |

There's already a watch made by Sony Ericsson that does this for
cellphones. Whether or not the phone sounds an alarm depends
on the phone model, but the watch will start vibrating if the
device it's paired with moves out of range. Given that most
people who carry purses keep their phones in ther purse, I'd say
your idea's already covered. My fiancee had her purse stolen last
week, and we got calls from 4 people who found her stuff tossed
in their yards. The purse itself was only 4 houses down from us.
My point is that they'll take any valuables out of it right away
and ditch the shrieking purse very quickly. The items will go into
a pocket or bag, so dye covering them will do no good unless
there's a bunch of loose cash in the purse, as opposed to it
being in a wallet like my fiancee's. We were lucky, because they
grabbed a purse with no money in it. |

you could put a shoulderstraps on a baboon. |

The dumping problem calls for a purse that snatches back. Booby-trap the clasp with an ampoule of superglue. |

//My fiance had her //
Your betrothed is gender-confused, it would seem [21Quest] ;-) |
|
| |
She's just plain confused... |
|
| |
I've found her dropped 'e' here, but I think the acute accent's snapped off. |
|
| |
You see what I mean, then. Theft is a nasty business, leaving
folks gender-confused and all. |
|
| |
Seems a vengeance purse is necessary because your not going to get your crap back anyway. |
|
| |
how about a purse that you deposit your excrement in all day long, with electronics that detect who is carrying it, if its not the real you it sprays in every direction. |

That's what I was going to suggest also. A theif isn't going to get caught on the street carrying a purse. If he isn't identified as a crook, certainly people are going to point, laugh, and make fun of him. Given that, a thief will usually empty the purse on the ground as soon as he can, he will grab the money, jewelry, checkbook, and anything else of percieved value and run off without the purse.

I also recently downloaded a neat anti-theft app for my phone
that, once activated, sounds an alarm if the phone is moved.
Great for when I'm playing a game of ping-pong and set it on a
table in the breakroom so it doesn't bulge in my pocket and
inhibit my mobility. Could also be placed my backpack for the
same reason. |
