Wind up heat detectors...  I have not thought of this in a million years,
but ages ago we had a large travel trailer that had a wind up heat detector
mounted about 2 off the floor on the side of the kitchen counter.  My dad
bought it because housing was always an issue in our rural area.  He would
rent it to employees of our grocery store very cheap.

An employee fell asleep with a lit cigarette while watching TV in the living
room area.  He set the throw he had on the couch on fire along with his
hair.  He said he wasn't sure if it was the windup heat detector clattering
away at him or the fact that his head was on fire that woke him up.  LOL.

I know.  I know.  Its an anecdote that promotes a product most believe is
bad, but in that case it worked.  Please don't revoke my ASA card.  I
promise to come back and bad mouth a poor performing vendor again any day
now.
