Anomaly 801

NAME: Gaudy Lawn Ornament

CLASSIFICATION: D

DESCRIPTION: A very brightly painted pink flamingo made out of plastic.

LEVEL: Reality

INFORMATION: Unable to be contained due to it being a Reality Class Anomaly.

The Gaudy Lawn Ornament is an Anomaly with three interesting abilities. The first being that it is capable of self-replicating at a quick rate, but can control how many it creates. The second ability is to send out a subliminal compulsion to anyone near it to sell and distribute its duplicates. The third one doesn't go into effect until it is placed on the front lawn of its new home. The second it is placed in the ground it sends out an invisible field around the property. Any individual with criminal intent that wishes to rob the home of whoever placed the Anomaly on their lawn would suddenly develop an aversion to robbing the home and move on to the next.

A/N: I watched an old NCIS episode which mentioned a criminal not robbing a place due to having pink flamingos on their lawn. In his own word, "Pink Flamingos on the lawn mean there's nothing worth stealing there.". So I turned that concept into Gaudy Lawn Ornament.
