Faux Burglary Stunts

Security Company ADT Warns That Your Home Needs to be Protected

Advertising firm DDB came up with an ingenious (or terrifying) way to get residents of Santiago, Chile thinking about home burglary while promoting the services of security company ADT. They developed a spring-loaded, flat box that can slide under a person's door and then transform into a perfect cube.

Leaving no signs of forced entry, the box proudly displays ADT's logo and tag line that reads, "Breaking into your apartment is easier than you think."

Creepy? Yes. Creative? Definitely.
