The Marble Wallet - Anti-theft device

The Marble Wallet - Anti-theft device
Ok, i made this a few years ago, and recently re-found it.
The idea behind the concept, was that if mugged, when the mugger says 'Give me your wallet!' you can actually give the mugger your wallet, clean round the face.

The construction was simple, i bought a set of marble floor mosaic tiles from my local diy store. I seperated the smal squares, the stuck them together using super glue into a rough wallet shape. I then Stuck the two sides onto a piece of leather, then added two side pockets to hold notes.

Puppy wallet! When they open it, an infinite stream of puppies attack them with cuteness! :D or maybe it shoots out a bunch of dead puppies. I guess it depends on how long you have the wallet before you get mugged.

Maybe if it had retractable blades with a release mechanism that wouldn't trip accidentally.

Wouldn't it be easier just to carry a knife? (x
Jan 8, 2009. 1:33 PMpigman32111 says:
I should try to make on of those. but I might just try the retractable blades first, and add the wallet part later.

I was thinking of a wallet containing a flash capacitor and some pieces of metal with a covert switch then when you get mugged , secretly turn on the switch and give the mugger a surprise! Just don't shock yourself!=D

OK, how about this: the finger-print recognition wallet!! If some one who isn't you opens it, they get a blast of ... oh I don't know ... pariliysing gas? in their face, accompanied by an ear-splitting siren.
Hmmm, maybe a bit bulky, must work on that idea...
*wanders away, lost in thought*
