Fecking bottom-dwelling SCUM

Whilst we're on the topic... neighbours dog bark too much? A smashed up DB stubbie, mixed with some mince, rolled into balls, and then tossed over the fence normally sorts that out.

Sorry to hear your grief man.

I worked security back in London. We used to advise people to do the security sticker in the window thing. These guys are lazy, if they think there is an alarm,they will go somewhere else. Doesnt help to catch them but it makes it harder for them.

An empty alarm box or dummy CCTV camera is a good buy, pretty cheap on Trademe or you can even make one, they just look a bit ugly on the house.

Also, keep a big dirty pair of gumboots at the back door and the front door, keeps them guessing if there is anyone at home and agin the lazy bastards will bugger off.

Some bastard assaulted my old mum in London years ago as well as trying to rob the place. A few phone calls to some bad types made sure the prick was going to have trouble feeding himself in the future. Trouble is, they put you away for that kind of stuff.

Take care, ride safe and eat pies

Sorry to hear this paturoa! We have been burgled and it is the worst feeling in the world. Yes they cold call to see if anyone is at home, if there is, a story like your gardiner comes out, or even directions to some where. Next time they call and there is no reply they are in like flynn! Cunce!!!

We got burgled in the night while we were asleep in bed! Now that really puts the shits up you

The SOCO (Scene of crime officer) that came a dusted our place for prints said they come back! They will come during the day while you are at work and clean you out! Her advice was to make visible security updates to the house, they would check them and leave if it looked too hard! I was petrified and would not leave the house until those updates had been done.

I even went as far as to put the packaging for the locking flushbolts and security stays we fitted to the windows in the windows facing out so the scum would see them.

I really feel for you guys, it is the worst feeling in the world knowing someone has been in your house.

gee's two story and noone looked at what your dog was going nuts about... sounds like your dog barks alot if noone took notice..bummer dude.. and to get in is easy leaving should have been harder... no dead locks on doors..?.and yea your house you should nearly insure that a window has to be broken for any entry.. can't rely on height been a stopper..way the times are.. lucky that your place wasn't trashed..as mom said..yes they can enter even if you're asleep..

[Max Preload]

Yes.Stop trying to feed it your meat.

Perhaps it isn't vegetarian but the poor poodle figures there would actually be an energy deficit just from opening it's mouth to eat such a tiny morsel...

[paturoa]

ta for the ideas peeps.

Rozzas did well, turned up this morning and did thier best to get a finger print but only got smudged ones that she said wouldn't be good enough. Ah well...

I was tempted to ask her if the finger print dust stuff she was using was the same as they used on their doughnuts, but thought the better of it.

I've put some extra deadbolts on the window, though it will probably mean that they will have to do more damage next time to get in and the repairs will just cost me more ?

I found some neat free software on the web, after the rozzas went to finger print some doughnuts. Basically it converts my web cam to a motion detector. It is still detecting motion when there isn't any but I think that was some extra software from the camera interferring when adjusting for the brightness as the clouds go by.

Anyway, when it detects motion, it starts recording video to the hard disk and at the same time sends frame grabs to an email SMTP address. It is pretty quick too, to both detect motion and send the frame grabs over the intermernetty thing.

I'm also looking at a "propper" alarm system to go with this and extend the cctv option somewhat. There are several remote controllable options and some other software that appears to be able to send IM and concurrently email frame grabs.

Oh, and we will have to go shopping to find anther telly this weekend.

EDIT 1: and i've also got a complete copy of all of our digital photos stored off site as well.
EDIT 2: and I got a call from some BMW owner today offerrring to sell me a hot telly...
EDIT 3: beefed up the bike security as well

Being burgled is like being violated....

So it makes it hard to walk and your farts don't make a sound anymore????????

[Toaster]

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to defend our properties properly. Criminals have too many rights and the victims get so little for their heartache and trouble.

What would be wrong with a few strategically placed claymores? Would take care of the possums too.....

Booby trap the window he entered last time

You the trap, Boob????

OK - for the slow of thinking. [edit red repping slow thinking]

It was so far from a action that a normal person would even consider contemplating that I assumed that even the slower readers here on KB would get that it was a bit of dark humour / an obvious joke - I don't actually recommend going around and setting fire to someones cat.

I also recommend that you don't take everything you read literally.

But it was on KB - it must be true. That poor cat....

Buy a safe, something just big enough for someone to carry. fill it with a mix of a few coke bottles a third full of petrol, and some paper bags full of gunpowder. Lock safe but dont hide it to well.

WHats the bet the crim trys to open it with a gas torch?

My parents place just got ripped off not long ago.. bigscreen LCD gone, smaller lcd gone, fancy leadlight windows on entertainment centre smashed and doors ripped off etc. antique jewellery box gone, which ironically contained an antinque handerkcheif and some cheap nasty jewellery. Good stuff was in the tatty looking jeweelry box and got left behind, but mum is slutted because the box and hanky were over a 100 years old, and will have just been dumped. All done in under 10 minutes, in the middle of the day whilst my sister had popped out for 2 hours.

I remember how I felt the two times we got burgaled when I lived at home, the most recent one is 15+ years ago and I STILL have homicidal feelings over it. It's just a horrible invasion of your space.

I say hangings too good for the cunts, any crime where someone invades your property and privacy, even "just a burglary" should be a death sentence crime imho. Or at least chop their fucking hands off.

First line so far has been converting the PC into a motion detector CCTV.

I leave for work early, so I started it before I left, and got to see when the family got up and what they did, from my desk at work today. This was the app emailing frame grabs when motion was detected.

Looks promising - tonight I will work out how I can remote onto the PC to view the video in real time.

I asked a few random people around work today and there wasn't a single person who had not had been the victim of theft. Thats 100%

I think I might do a KB survey on the topic as I haven't tried that before.
