Yellow Crime Scene Tape 1000 Ft (Pack of 1)

I'm not in law enforcement. So why buy crime scene tape?Well, it all started with a colleague who is getting ready to retire. After 30+ years with the company, his office had become very much like what you'd picture the quintessential professor's office to be like. Let's just say he had quite the collection of papers, journals, awards and just about everything else you can imagine.He had already spent several weeks sorting and tossing (and handing off to others the really important stuff). His office was actually beginning to look at little bare.This was an opportunity I just could not let pass. I ordered the tape and early one morning, before he showed up, we turned his office into a crime scene.And then we waited.When he saw his office, his face took on a puzzled, perhaps even slightly worried look. After giving him time to absorb the idea that somehow his office had overnight become a crime scene, we told him what had happened. Well, we told him OUR version of what had happened.Building security had been by on a routine patrol during the night. They recognized that there were a LOT of papers missing from his office. After consulting with their superiors and the local police, they reached the only reasonable conclusion anyone could have reached. Someone had come in and made off with valuable company documents! The security folks knew they were going to have to talk with him to identify what secrets might have been stolen. They put up the crime scene tape to keep others out of his office until they could talk with him and enlist his help in their investigation.The hardest part of any practical joke is keeping a straight face. Sadly, we didn't last very long. He realized that he had been pranked and we all had a good laugh.How much crime scene tape does it take to turn a doorway into a crime scene? Not very much at all. There are probably another 70 or 80 more great pranks left in that roll of tape.And so I'm looking for the next great opportunity to help someone else have a good laugh. A very cheap price to pay for a lot of future laughs!

I bought this roll of Crime Scene Tape for my little sister's Sweet 16 SHERLOCK and DOCTOR WHO themed Party. We used this as a part of a table run for the table decorations and also to "block" off the DANCE FLOOR area in which we had drawn a silhouette of a dead person on the floor. IT LOOKS AMAZING. It is easy to cut and it is not as transparent as I thought it would be. GREAT ITEM. I would highly recommend it. The role is HUGE and it was enough to decorate 30+ tables and a lot extra for trial and run table decor. AND like others have said, a lot of it is still left on the roll to use. :) Very satisfied with the purchase.

We all know what caution tape looks and feels like. This is just like any other other caution tape you'd buy at the hardware store, only it's got "CRIME SCENE DO NOT CROSS" on it. Which is why I love it. Other decorative tapes are thinner and made of plastic that's just different enough to be an obvious decoration.But this is the real deal. Heck, it might actually be the same stuff the police use. So, if you're shooting an indie film that requires an accurate crime scene, In the mood to prank your coworkers by covering their office door with this stuff, or want Halloween decorations in your front yard that are so authentic that your neighbors might actually worry that a crime was committed...this is the product for you.

It's criminal how much I love this tape. Who knew that a roll of yellow plastic tape could inspire so much chatter amongst the neighbors? We put it across our private road and when we drive out, we undo it and then put it back up. When the nosies...I mean neighbors are out walking and they ask us why it's there, we just tell them that we cannot talk about it or we will have to kill them...I wonder why no one comes for tea anymore....

This product was a great value for our drama club production. We needed crime tape for several nights of production, and the small packs at party stores were pricey for their length. This tape was less flimsy, and we were able to reuse it for all the nights of the production - and now we have tape for any crime drama we might put on for the next decade! (Or haunted house, or mystery party...)

I submitted a question which several responded the color as yellow...only one stated it was darker then pictured but still insisted it was yellow. I guess my definition of yellow is different....the color better matches the orange screen color used by Amazon (at least on my computer) to indicate number of stars or ironically the "Submit" button below this review. What it is not is the bright yellow as pictured!It's is up to the beholder if this is an acceptable discrepancy!

While this could potentially be used in an emergency as a vehicle towing strap with enough strengthening knots tied in it, it works remarkably well as crime scene tape. The roll I received must have been somewhat magical as it kept even the most rabid reporters and paparazzi out of the crime scenes we've used it on.

This police tape is really long (I mean REALLY SUPER long and its price is quite economical for a 1000 ft tape) and I was able to finish my sculpture project which it required lots of yellow police tape to cover 5 large boxes and two platforms. I still have more than half left so will be using it for Halloween or another art project. Here are photos just to get you some ideas. :)
