DESCRIPTION:It is very easy to write down models with long-lived particles
  which decay to standard model states\; usually\, all that is required is 
 an approximate symmetry\, which is by definition technically natural. The 
 LHC collaborations have already performed searches for the displaced decay
 s of such particles\, with no observed excess. The peculiarity of the sign
 ature presents two complementary challenges: how do collaborations present
  their results in the most model-independent way possible? and how do phen
 omenologists reinterpret the results in the context of their own models? I
  will describe a simple Monte Carlo method which has implications for both
 . The short message is the following: if the relevant efficiency tables ar
 e published\, then phenomenologists need only take Monte Carlo events a
 nd fold in these efficiencies to reinterpret searches. I will discuss this
  method in the context of the simplest Higgs and vector portal models.\n
