Your ideas please... During Swanage carnival week the towns shop keepers place something they do not sell in their window, and jolly holiday makers try and figure out what it is, and can win prizes.

Last year we had a can of smoked oysters in our window. Would a stuffed beaver be going too far... any other ideas?

A packet of bird seed. We once got asked for this when I worked in a motorbike shop.

the idea is to make it difficult to find, a bit of a chalenge.

One shop taped a tiny pin to the centre of the glass window... a bit tough.

I just want to amuse, or frighten people: "daddy why is there a XXXX in the window"... "Turn away son, turn away!!!"

An oil filter remover for a car, looks like it could be a bike tool, but isn't so it'll make it more of a challenge. Either that or a single tangfastic sweet hidden discreetly in the display somewhere.

When is this? We're on holiday down there soon so we'll come and have a look.

My suggestion, should you not be able to find a shrunken head.

You keep having to lull them into a false sense of security....

Keep riding at them when they least expect it, preferably at night. 😀

A bottle of beer.

Place it with one of your headset bottle openers and no-one will suspect a thing
