If it looks like people have stepped on them, or put a cigarette out on them, it wont work. You can do this for however many losers you need. Just make sure you pick them up on several diffrent days..
Your suggestion does not help someone who takes the standard deduction on his/her taxes, which is probably most people who don't have a mortgage.
