Are you a super-stealthy-diy-ninja Assassin or do you just want to know when you little brother's been going through your stuff again?
This Instructable shows you how to make a really cheap Door Securer, this project is great for kids or people with little electrical knowledge. It requires no soldering whatsoever, the materials are cheap and easily available, and you do not kneed many tools.
The Door securer is planted in the room you want to secure and then a thin piece of cotton or fishing wire is attached to the tab and the other end to the door. Then when someone tries to sneak into your room to assassinate/nick-your-stuff, the string is pulled and the little tab slips out of the box, this completes the circuit and the two led's flash to tell you someone has been in the room.

There are 3 main components you need for this project ;
The box, for my box i used an old Gameboy cartridge dust box thing. You could use the same or any other type of box as long as the circuit board fits inside. I would have used an altoids tin but it was too big for this project :P
The String, you could use either thin cotton or fishing line (ask mum for cotton, dad for fishing line), it needs to be light and quite thin so the intruder doesn't see it.
