A few yaers ago I represented a company that manufactured "Tilt Switches".
Basicly, it was a glass bulb with some mercury in it and 2 wires fused through
the glass (same principal as a home thermostat). When the switch was attached
to an object, any movement would cause the mercury to make the connection and
any number of things could be activated ...., car alarms, horns, sirens,
llights, etc. Maybe something like this, something that created a loud noise
or a flashing light, would be good to have in addition to the chains and
cables. Shouldn't be too hard to make one.
