Leaving the lights on with the curtains drawn - and possibly the radio playing - is a hack to discourage break-ins. Someone seems to be home, but burglars can't actually look inside to check.

Too many people use that trick now. Even the 'put a light in an automatic timer' trick is common.

Instead just put a sign up that says "Any unauthorized testicles entering the building will be donated to a good cause".
