Ex-cop's portrait scares off burglars
A retired Chinese policeman put a life-size picture of himself in uniform on the balcony of his home to keep away burglars.
Zeng, from Panyu in Guangzhou, says no burglaries have occurred since he hung up his picture three months ago.
The pensioner came up with the idea after nearly £800 of valuables were stolen from his home last September, reports China Daily quoting Information Times.
The former officer said the enlarged picture hanging outside his ground-floor apartment was an effective deterrent.
