Hey,
I have one of those too, though i use the smaller Eastwing 12oz. model.

I left a good one last week. the drywall hangers covered 4 out of six motion
detector wires. one i could not find untill i made a spy hole large enough
to fit my head and a flashlight through.  Found my wire, drywall hangers
hung a new piece of drywall.
