Not the bees...

Beehive auto anti-theft system. That low humming sound tells you the system is on.

—”That low humming sound tells you the system is on.”

I do like the sound of that!
But the TRUNK MONKEY is the best.

Oh-man. Those Trunk Monkey commercials were great. I wasn’t planning to watch all of them, but I did!
