The distinctive sound of a walkie talkie chirp is also a good sound to play, had it as my message alert on my phone - the number of people who suddenly think your a cop and get spooked.

Though any music works best as shows somebody in and most burglars don't want anybody there as then it becomes a robbery and those sentences are higher. So playing music good and your choice is pretty excellent in the psychological factor upon the burglars.

Please don't create low-effort posts like this that criticize / question the veracity of another post with zero evidence or context, it just creates noise and makes it harder for people to trust content posted on Hacker News.

If the above video was faked, and you could post a link or some context showing how it was faked, that would be a good contribution.

Thanks :)
