Quote from @Vince Scipione: Yes, they are a popular choice where I live and work, however with the ever fluctuating cost of oil heat, many people have swapped over their boilers/furnaces to what is called a "Propane Gun" essentially it is a device that is affixed to the front of the furnace/boiler that injects the propane and ignites it.

Is this the case for all mobile devices or am I missing something?

I do not know the best category to put this, so please point me in the right directionThere are noise cancelling devices that are useful to balance the outside noise.

Either way, looking forward to seeing what you lock up next! 

Or, again disable the locking mechanism to prevent it from being locked by an unsupervised child.

waiit so how are they scammers, they locking it up legally I didn't say they were scammers, I said some people look at them that way.

Has anyone used this device or have another recommendation to monitor water usage? 

You can also make your place more trouble-free by fixing things up front that are most likely to break (new light fixtures, light bulbs, door locks, etc.).

In short, this would be an entirely appreciation-based investment.Given the state of the economy today, with high interest rates and the seller-buyer lock out effect, I want to discuss the pros and cons of this investment at length, specifically in the context of all the other properties / neighborhoods that I have been evaluating.
