extra-crispy, move to the deep south, and practice saying, "there must have been a wire rubbing against the gutters on the outside extension cord I've got for the sprinkler system, or something.  dunno what happened."  seriously, just don't fess up to it, and remove the system when you hear the screams.  and if you get it working, send me plans.

I'd second what everyone else said about pissing off the crook.  if you're going for it, go all in.  don't give them a chance to come back to get even.

I really dislike thieves.
