Capture Houses

Since 2007 police in the UK have set up Fully-Furnished Fake Houses as burglar traps.  They are called "capture houses" and are equipped with hidden cameras and chemical sprays that leave an indelible mark on would be thieves.

Oddly, once apprehended, many of the criminals are shown DVDs of their crime, as if they had inadvertently broken into a private film studio meant just for them, their own motion picture house, 15 minutes of fame captured on miniature cameras only the most paranoid among us would look for or even see.
As the BBC put it in 2008, each captured thief is "unwittingly the star of the show."
