In the small town that my husband grew up in there was a gas station that displayed an aquarium with two rattlers in its window.
A sign on the aquarium said, "They're Out At Night". And at nighttime no snakes were in the aquarium.
No break-ins, robberies or problems of that nature ever occurred at that station.

Ha!
A friend of mine left a sign on the sliding glass door to his back deck:
"MR. PLUMBER. PLEASE DO NOT COME IN. THE SNAKES GOT OUT AGAIN!"
He didn't have a problem with burglars . . .

buddy of mine in college, said his girlfriends dad ran a car repair shop that had been broken into several times
He put up signs to the effect Rattlers patroled at night

Thank God for Texas. Out here in California a few years back a Korean grocer was so frustrated with the number of break-ins by LA gang members that he wired 120 volts AC into the metal door frame around his business. He had a sign up. Stupid perp with an attitude tried to break in anyway and fried himself. The Korean was prosecuted and found guilty.

They probably didn't have a serious problem with rats or mice either.
