Electrical Outlet Safe

Electrial Outlet Mini Safe

Not only is this Electric Outlet Safe completely unassuming, but few criminals will peel back an electrical outlet for fear of electrocution. This mini safe will hold small amounts of cash, jewelry and credit cards, or a large bag of something. You’ll just have to cut a hole in your wall.

Available here for $15.

Hidden Compartment Shoe

Hidden Compartment Shoe
Have you ever gone running without any pockets? Sucks don’t it, especially if you’ve gotta take your house keys with you. Although I think these shoes are intended for walking only (hence the name), they include a hidden compartment in the left shoe’s midsole for storing keys, credit cards, cash and other similarly sized objects. Apparently the compartment won’t impact support, flexibility or comfort and your credit cards will remain crack free.  Reminds me of Kangaroo Sneakers, which featured pockets in the tongue of the shoe.

Available here for $90 in black or white.

Door Jam Alarm System

Door Jam Alarm SystemThe Super Door Stop Alarm sounds a 125db alarm when pressure is applied to the foot pedal like device. Meaning the door would have to open onto it. On the converse, when the alarm is not turned on (total guess) it can act as a ‘door jam’.

Available here for $15.

Dummy Surveillance Camera With Built-In Motion Detector

Dummy Surveillance Camera
Not everyone can afford a few hundred dollars worth of gear when it comes to securing the premises. Your next best bet, beyond the sign that reads “this area is under video surveillance” is a fake camera. But not just any camera will fool a perp, that’s why you need The Indoor Dummy Camera. It includes a blinking LED light and pans side to side when it detects motion to fool even the most cunning of criminals. Takes 3 AA batteries.

Available here for $10 - steal!

One Badass Shredder - Does 500 Pages At A Time

Auto+ Shredder
Although the days of Enron and Worldcom are behind us, the days of cooking the books and paper shredding are far from over. Hence the introduction of Rexel’s Auto+ shredder. This thing destroys up to 500 pages at a time and chews through staples and paper clips. For added security, you know, since you never know when you’ll be shredding evidence, the Auto+ features a password protected door. Pretty much the inverse version of the Ziszor shredder we saw a few weeks ago.

New Lock System Allows The Consumer, Yes You, To Make Your Own Key

SmartKey 3
Smartkey maker Kwiset has engineered a new type of lock that allows its owner to essentially cut their own key…sort of. It works like this: You purchase a newly cut key. Insert the old key, hit the ‘learn’ function (to do this you actually have to rotate the lock and insert the “learning tool”) and then insert the new key. The Smartkey automatically adjusts its tumbler (the little pins inside a lock that fall into the grooves of the key) to match the new key. According to Kwiset the Smartkey can’t be ‘bumped’ (e.g. picked like you see in the movies).

Remote Control Spy Car With Video and Audio

Remote Controlled Spy Car 2
I can’t think of a practical application for this radio controlled Spy Car, but it sure does look cool. Mounted on the vehicle is a video camera and microphone that’s wirelessly transmits back to the remote control where the action can be reviewed on its 1.5″color screen with speaker. Spying at night? No problem. The camera even includes night shot and remote angle adjustment for those tough to get up the skirt shots. Unfortunately, no recording capability, but nothing a little modification can’t take care of. Range: about 180 feet and will work through walls.

Video after the ‘leap’

Available here for about $180.

New $5 Dollar Bill - Holla!

2008 $5 Bill
Expect the new $5 bill to enter into circulation this Thursday. Fittingly, the new bill will be used at President Lincoln’s Cottage at a sort of inauguration. The biggest changes are more color on its face and a large obscene ‘5′ on the back. Other features include small yellow ’05s’ on the front and back. The $100 bill is next in line for a makeover.
