	Hmmm, in my system, the 'High Voltage' signs mean business, 170 VDC open
circuit. The fasteners in my arrays are installed in a
nearly-impossible-to-reach configuration, requiring the use of a shortened
hex wrench, plenty of time, bodily contortions, and a tool box full of
choice swear words.
	Carl does also bring up a good point. If the miscreants can't cart the
loot away, they are likely to try and smash it to bits. Better install some
shock sensors on the array to detect the vibrations caused by impact, and
use that to trigger the alarm also.
	Sounds like a job for some mean dogs and a shotgun full of rock salt.
