SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals): Beware - Beware Broom

To encourage adoption from the SPCA, warning plaques were placed at upper-middle class neighbourhoods at risk of robbery — with slightly ridiculous copy stating “Beware of Broom” and “Beware of Rolling Pin”. This served to highlight the absence of a faithful canine guardian. The back of each plaque says that “Nothing protects your home like a dog”, followed by a call to adopt one as well as the shelter’s contact details.
