A New Orleans man is rethinking his decision to use a particular scarecrow to deter car burglars.
Surveillance video shows three suspects trying to break into a parked pickup truck near Joseph and Willow Streets.
The truck's owner had placed a mannequin in the passenger seat that was wearing a Michael Myers mask.
The startled would-be burglars all opened fire on the dummy, blowing about 20 holes in the truck, then drove away in a hurry.
The truck's owner admits his idea wasn't as good as he'd thought.
