I propose we modify the deterrent by recommending that the homeowner kick the
skunk when they hear the crowbar creaking lightly on the window sill and
repeat as many times as needed until the phantom burglar gets the idea and
goes away. It does require that all trees nearby to the house be trimmed back
to avoid a confusion of sounds.
