Instead of leaving a lamp on an automatic timer, leave a television on instead. The fluctuating light levels are more convincing. If burglars are watching your lit up window for an hour and can't discern any movement, they may feel bolder.

It's-It ice cream sandwich, begins with an "I", and they apparently served them in their NY center. Seems to perfect to ignore, but then it's also a brand name.
