Thieves hide in Hi Viz now?

[Gremlin]

It is truly bizarre how if you look the part and act the part, you can almost get away with murder.

For us in IT - its the Laptop bag - it can take you anywhere

Funny, I barely ever carry a laptop bag, only when flying. For me it's a backpack, so I never "classify" laptop bags, plus, most business clients use them anyway.

However, doing a few sporting events (Triathlon, Marathon, Ironman etc), give someone a hi viz vest and put them on a corner... yeesh. Frequently I get questioned/stopped, no, you can't enter. Generally the argument is solved by disagreeing, saying, yes, I can enter and going through (plus wearing a hi viz vest myself clearly gives me authority)

in 2014 Hi Viz is the new camo.

Eh?

Since 2003!

There has been many instances of houses being robbed, by blokes in a truck with plenty of faggy-vests.



No wonder Hi-Vis is referred to as "the cloak of invisibility".
Nobody sees you. Especially so if on a motorbike, so STOP USING THIS FAGGOTRY!!!

Fluoro went out of fashion in the '80's, ffs!

years ago it was white overalls, you could walk on to any commercial building site and help yourself to whatever was lying about, now its the hi vis

[Scuba_Steve]

So why the ram-rod?

Actually the entire freight industry are shockers security wise. You can wander into just about anywhere unchallenged if you wanted too.
Even when you go to legitimately load something up theres always the blank stare from the stoned forky "whatever, don't know, over there somewhere etc"
There seems to have been a spate recently of people stealing tractor (truck) units as their such easy targets.

Caught two burglars in action in broad daylight, both made no attempt to conceal identity and just boldly walked onto property in confidant manner...
Anyone can be a theif, you have to be proactive when it comes to security.
