Just a pet peeve of mine is when I see people use the term "robbery" incorrectly. In the above article, it says: " Developed by two muffler shop partners in Sacramento, California, this team aims to stop a robbery and provide its customers with peace of mind." It does not do anything to stop a robbery, but it has a good chance of stopping a burglary. Burglary is a property crime while robbery is a personal crime. Both are larceny or theft, but in a robbery, there is a personal assault; threatening with either a weapon or by physical intimidation. I am not a lawyer, but I worked security in my younger years and this difference was drilled into us.

I found this article because I saw a Prius at Safeway this evening with advertisements for this product plastered all over it. I presume that although it says they are from Sacramento, at least one of them is from Roseville. I don't own a Prius, but I was just curious what was up with the advertisements.
