Thieving f*cking scum!

[Swoop]

Fijian kauri is soft as all f*ck (being a softwood). Get a new hardwood door put on.

[xwhatsit]

Ghey, ghey, ghey. Really sorry to hear that, man

Do a burnout on their nuts with that minibike thing

Carlton?

[skidMark]

Gutted, but umm why no house alarm?

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. It sucks to know that fooking tealeaves have been going through your private things and lifted what they deemed worth taking.

I would be very careful about getting your insurance replacement goods stolen. These sort of scum have the habit of going back to houses once all the new stuff has arrived. My friends got robbed 3 times. Beef up your security and maybe think of installing webcams for when you are out. Thieves have been caught this way and it is good evidence for when you go to court.

Having just relocated to Auckland from crime-free Wellington, this is not what I want to read.

Crime free Wellington?

how many days did you have to wait for them to attend?

All up? About 45 minutes, so no complaints there...

In the last 2 years, I have spent somewhere in the region of $50,000 on this place - pure and simple, we've been living on the bones of our arse. So, thanks to the scum we'll be extending several lines of credit and begging/borrowing to make the changes we need to not only run up further debt, but also make us effective prisoners in our own house.

Aye, will be installing a couple of toys when able that should help. A good geeky background and knowledge of wireless technology is a good thing.

Those b*stards don't care how financiall strapped you are or that you have to work hard to have what you want in your home. I got burgled and we think it was the last tennants becaause the very high tech alarm was still on when we got home. They had no respect for the fact that my gramps had left me some of the stuff that got stolen or that I couldn't wear the underwear they had riffled through.

I hope that you get your place sorted so that potential thieving w*nkers think twice. I think anyone who streal should be branded, the arabs have the right idea and they have very little theft crime.

Anything that's wet!

In all the times I have been to Wellington, I have never been burgled/robbed.

Suppose if I had been there more than twice, it might make a difference...

Now now, we can't have our criminals having their rights infringed, I mean, lop a hand off, how will they support their families and P habits?

Wishing the burglars a slow painful death without leeching off the tax-payer any more...

Restorative justice would be so much sweeter if they let you inflict physical pain... or death!

Now now, you can't be so inhumane as that, you just put a bunch of them in one room with a potato peeler, then brick the room off!

If there is karma in this world, the wankers will be electrocuted in the fucking head from one of our appliances.

I certainly hope so - I hate thieves. Gutted to hear mate.

BUT I WILL HAVE TO SPEND MY BEER MONEY ON THE INSURANCE EXCESS!

...that reminds me. Your motorcycle theft excess just went up.....

[Big Dog]

Try to be a little understanding.

Evens killer bees have rights, they need to feed their p habits too.

With any luck they will be a little too well fed this week.

But seriously, don't know what the current stats are but where there is not a visible beef up of security it used to be about 90% would be reburgled (when I was in security doing security appraisals in the mid 90's.
Often the original goods are not even fenced. Just discarded, they are of little or no use, they want your new goods.
When you re purchase all your goods:
* don't put the boxes out with the rubbish.
* don't get the goods delivered.
* if you have internal access to the garage unload the car in there.
* if you have internal access to the garage put a secure door on it. Garages are very easy to break in to and make very good "LZ" for stashing everything in one place so as to have as little exposure between collection and exit.
* if it is a big item like a fridge pick it up on a trailer covered in a blanket so it looks second hand.
* if you have mates with guns consider being seen carrying gun cases into the house. Does not have to have a real gun to have the same effect if you are being watched.
* if you have a dog consider arranging a run so that he/she can get to both doors.
* if they kicked down your door there is very little you can do about it unless you want to spend serious money, these bastards don't care about the neighbours knowing what is going on. If you secure the door too effectively they will go after your windows.
* trim your hedges.
* discard or secure any heavy objects lying around your garden loose.
* if you have a toolshed secure it.
* if you have plants under the windows prune them so that you can see the yard unimpeeded from your windows.
* if you can be arsed plant roses and other thorny bushes under windows.
* put a block of wood about 3 centimeters shorter than the ranch slider track in the track if you have one. This allows for a breeze without allowing anyone in, or the same length if you wnat it to be completely secure (short of them breaking the glass.
* if you have an alarm talk to your installer about a glass break sensor in areas of good ingress that you don't think that there is anything to steal.
These generally cost less than a PIR and can often protect several rooms if properly installed.
* if you have a large house get more peizo's installed. One at each likely point of ingress or egress and at any likely "LZ's"
* regular gatherings of bikers at your pad may just lower your property value but it will deter a lot of criminals if your known for having dropins on a fairly regular basis.

The security game is largely about making your house the least attractive of the houses in the street.
There is no point having an alarm unless people know you have one, but they should not know which one. By all means put up stickers that say Monitored by...
but don't put up the stickers that say the brand of house alarm you have purchsed.

Cheers Big Dog for them helpful and handy hints.

I've made an urgent dash to a store to buy a wireless alarm, which will hopefully make the insurance happy for 5 minutes, and possibly piss the scrotes off in future... well long enough til I get a decent BIG alarm installed.

ADT were kind enough to suggest they'd give me a FREE alarm if I signed up for monitoring... but having worked in their monitoring centre for a year and a half, HELL NO!

So latches, bolts and noisy things that go 'beep' will have to suffice for now...

That was quick, sure they did not knock you off?
