That'll work good for a minute. If the cops are any help they could dust for fingerprints, or claim they did, to get the guy to confess. After all, we all know it's the former tenant.
Your goal is to create a "honeypot" (actually, layers of them) that mires a thief down and frustrates them, but not something that you can't undo yourself in adequate time. As that gizmo goes into a garage door with self tapping screws, it could get zipped out pretty quickly. The trap, however, is catching prints when it happens... and upping the "intent" as you know he doesn't have keys to this and that it's a new addition since he rented the place.
