Whats the best plumbing van alarm system?

[dontknowitall]

Reminds me of a story of a friend (last 5 years or so) who spotted some yoof stealing his daughter's bicycle from the shed. Ran out and clocked him one. Yoof went to the police next day and complained of assault. Police turned up to friend's house and they had an enjoyable coffee and chat about the teenagers these days.

I'm lucky though that I hardly ever lock my van and if it's locked it's usually because I've knocked the key button by mistake.

I was thinking electrified fence generator, not painful enough though.
Same as an ex copper friend of mine said, if you catch somebody breaking into the house and you wrap the baseball/cricket/golf bat/club around the unfortunates head, make sure you drag them upstairs before calling police. Upstairs they are a threat to your family and you can get away using more force.

I worke in a guys house a few years back and he told us of when his car got done.

He had just come out the shower and heard something outside, looked out the window and there was an rse lying in his car door nicking the radio. The guy ran downstairs, bollock naked and dragged the scum out the car and gave him a hammering. Took him inside the house and phoned the police. Police arrive and charge the guy with assault.
Couple of months later after both had been to court, the guy got a £300 fine and the scum got to cut some grass on a few saturday mornings :mad2:.
Some justice that. The radio was only worth about £100. He would have been cheaper just shutting the blinds but it was probably worth it for the satisfaction:smile5:

I heard another story a few years back too ... but totally unrelated to plumbing.

Old woman phones police:

"There's a man in my garden shed."
"We can't come out for a while as there are no spare cars."

A few minutes later she phones again:

"It's okay, there's no rush as I've shot him."

Within quarter of an hour, three police cars arrive.

"Where's the man? You said you'd shot him."

"You said you didn't have any spare cars."

Clifford make the finest alarms, failing that anything else thatcham cat 1, should be around £350 supply and fitted for a reasonable cat 1 alarm, Meta, autowatch etc

We have had four or five vans have the exhaust nicked. Apparently there is a small amount of very valuable metal - I think its platinum - in the catalytic converter. We park them all inside now. We got CCTV footage of a couple of them, but not clear enough to help. Thats partly why the scrappies now ask for id when you weigh in.
