    "Since filling out even a simple return can be rather game-like, maybe they're just doing what they do best."

    So is this the new real-time strategy game you want to sell to our future accountants? Personally I tend toward games with the fewest rules, they're more entertaining.

    The real solution is paintball guns. Just shoot the camera's in the area where you parked. If a couple of people do this over a few weeks, none of the cameras will wind up working.
