Project for Preventing Drain Cover Theft
CHAPTER 1 : INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
Recently, we often hear cases of theft manhole made of steel. These thefts often occur because the steel is very valuable when sold. One of my neighbors asked if there are tools that can prevent theft drains. From there I got the idea to create an alarm that can prevent theft from stealing the drain cover becoming increasingly. We begin by examining the case drain theft either inside or outside the country. Too many cases that have occurred that resulted in significant losses to the government and local authorities. It is also inconvenient and dangerous to the people around the area of theft. This device should be able to alert the people in the house or people near the drain cover that can scared the theft if they try to steal the drain cover. If this happen, people will become more alert and know what happen to the drain cover. This can reduce cases of stealing and also will help local authorities from loss.
1.2 Purpose and Objective
The main objective of this project is :To prevent the drain cover from be stealing by the theft. To alert people around if anything happen to the drain cover.
The Drain Cover Alarm is simple devices that can alert people around if anything happen to the drain cover. The main purpose of this project is to prevent the theft steal the drain cover. Help people to become more alert and can prevent from the theft. Also can reduce the cases and the loss of property of public. There are too much losses have been reported about the stealing of the drain cover. We hope that this device should be able to reduce the amount of stealing cases from happen again.

1.3 Problem Statement
We have found some problem that may occurs our project : - Device should be wired or wireless - Using battery or electric - Device should be waterproof Wired or Wireless? There are pros and cons about using wired and wireless:Wired - Could be short circuit if exposed to water - Not to cost for buying the
