    Further, why didn't the relay get hooked up to the power source for the TV?

    So we have a CUFP with no code, vandalism, theft, and a suboptimal solution to the problem. Cutting the the power to the TV automatically before some cow-orker comes around the corner would work much more smoothly than sounding an alarm and turning it off manually, after all.

    I'd like to see that myself. Even if, as the author stated, it was inefficient, it's always nice to see yet another way to do it.

    Bad examples are still examples. Sometimes they're even enough to spark someone's brain into making a good example.
