As has already cropped up in this thread, I made a big mistake not buying
anti tamper stickers to put over the 110V switch.

Buying? You simply print your own and sign it. You still have the problem
of
proving it ever existed if it can be removed (impossible to stop on
polished
metal cases) so it all comes down to how hard both of you are prepared to
fight anyway. The sticker is merely a deterrent.

You can buy anti-tamper stickers that disintegrate if anyone tries to peel
them off, even if they scrubbed the fragments off with solvent there would
be particles in the switch slider to give the game away.

I doubt it. The slider is recessed and the sticker probably wouldn't touch
it. If it did, it wouldn't stick that well to the plastic, and if by some
chance it did, the same solvent would remove it from there as well.

BTW, most anti tamper stickers are simply cut in a number of places. Easy
enough to do your own with a scalpel unless you need large amounts.
A drop of super glue under the label also works well.
