Well that's nearly 20 minutes of my life I'll never get back. I'll make sure to keep my eyes peeled for anyone doing a drive-by with a device that looks like a bazooka on a tripod in case they want to change the temperature in my house.

I think the point is... you could scope out a building, find out what smart tech they have. Go home, program a laser pointer and get free entry.

I think I'd be more to assume it WAS a bazooka and get out of there!
