Abstract
A theft deterrent device (10) is provided for enclosures such as dwellings, motor vehicles and the like, having one or more entranceways. The device is adapted to be quickly and easily installed within such enclosures and is connected electrically with pre-existing electrical circuitry of the enclosure, causing the device to emit a noxious gas, upon unauthorized entry into the enclosure via one of the entranceways. The noxious gas renders the enclosure temporarily uninhabitable. The device may be activated or deactivated remotely from outside the enclosure. The device also includes other safety features to prevent accidental discharge of the noxious gas.
