California homeowner uses motion-activated sprinkler to deter thieves

"Our flood light didn't seem to scare them off, so we decided to have a little fun with a motion activated sprinkler that has an impressive amount of pressure," Camarena wrote on social media.

The device seems to have worked.

Video shows a prowler riding up on a bicycle and then quickly riding off early Tuesday morning as the sprinkler starts spraying water from the back of a truck.
