wife's car done last night no sign of forced entry (i know it was locked, a bit ocd like that) had a route could find anything of value except about £5 in shrapnel used for parking. got off lightly but still pi55ed off! could definitely do a vinne jones in lock stock, with door to head if i caught them!! now paranoid about security were they coming to do the house? how did they get in the car? is it my car next?

my sisters car got stolen once, long story but she moved into a rough arsed area of manchester 100yrdsw from wythenshaw, northenden in sale. when she was 18 and thought she knew it all. she had a escort cabriolet with big fancy alloys etc pink seat covers!!! anyway dad and me both said your cars not goint to last ten minutes, 2 days later phones goes in the middle of the night and her cars been stolen pushed rd the corner and half way stripped next to the pallisade fence into wythenshaw estate, alloys, stereo, seats etc gone. we had to recover it onto our plant trailer using the old steel wheels.
but the crux of the story was that the coppers said they know we cant do anything when there is a heavy frost masks all finger prints.

i am almost certain my burglary was pikeys
junkies would have took the other assorted power tools in the garage - cordless drill ,hedge trimmers etc.
the pikeys went straight for the highest value resale item,they left me the jacket and the hardhat/muffs/visor combo
also i doubt junkies would have the strength or tools to peel up the door like a can of sardines
that why we hire wackers and rollers now
my old mans lock ups got done 2 years ago same technique
until they start getting handed down some serious bird, there is no deterrent

A certain family member has his big Harley-D Softtail parked up in a garage that is about 150m from the house - it's one of those communal garage areas.
He's always been concerned that he wouldn't be able to hear any shenanigans or see anything suspicious as the garage area is around a corner, so he very cleverly linked the door to an explosive charge made from shotgun cartridges and the like, and made sure everyone in the local other-people's-property relocation industry knew about it.
As a result, no-one ever went near his garage and his bike was completely safe - right up until the night he forgot to disarm the bloody thing before he opened the door. He remembers nothing until waking up in the local Casualty department, sans eyebrows, and span them a tale about petrol fumes and a carelessly abandoned fag.

We have some trip mines that you can buy from gun shops or at least used to, metal frame with screw holes and a spring powered firing pin. Takes blank shotgun shells and then a trip wire. Screw them in door frames on new builds scares the you know what out of you and deafens you. Few ppl have forgot about them in the past haha
We had a sparky who had a communal garage away from his house and he rigged a make shift pressure pad up that when stood on electrified the handle/door enough to not want to touch it again. Think it was about 24 volt zap as it used a big truck battery charger.

Regrading those signs contractors have on the back of their vans: No Tools Left In This Vehicle Overnight.
I saw a cracker on the motorway last week. A Jaffa Cake lorry - No Jaffa Cakes Are Left In This Vehicle Overnight!
