Thieving scumbags
Broke into my garage last night but stole nothing! Didn't touch the car or the R6 parked in there.
I think there are a bit dim as they broke the lock of the up-and-over door but couldn't get it open but did get the side door open. So today I
couldn't go to work as I was making it secure again with several big locks.
When we reported it the police said there have been a few attempts to break into garages in Nuneaton with up-and-overs lately but they have all been
unsuccessful.
Am still worried they'll come back but with the locks and cars parked where they are now it should take a while to get in (or anything out) and
make a lot of noise in the process.
Just a reminder to all to keep everything secure.

Little b@stards. But at least they didnt nick anything. Seems pointless though?
We had a group of dids going round at home a week or so back nicking stuff as they went. They even managed to take a neighbours VW camper van, how the
hell they nicked it and no-one heard them I will never know!

I have fitted a door defender to mine. Costs about £50 on ebay.

The other security measure is one of those land mine units with blank shotgun cartridges and flourescent paint.
Performance Bikes suggested filling them with a dog turd and urine

I would be worried about em coming back once they have sussed how to get the door open...
One nice thing that the last owner of our house had done, was to fit two mortise locks at ether side and bottom of the up and over door they a
difficult to see (as only the key holes show on the outside). He also fitted a hasp bolted into the concrete and bottom of the door, and with a big
ass padlock..
If I was doing it I think I would fit four mortise locks to top and bottom corners. This would make it very difficult to get the thing open without a
lot of noise bending the door in half...

living in nuneaton and being burgled as few months ago .....
they'll be back, mine returned in 7 days as they knew what i had then & could take a lot more. Unfortunately for them, i'd got an
alarm and security lights by this time - so they did my shed instead.

get the boys round and you all sleep in the garage for the next few nights and when the door is forced open you can the inflict some summary justice
on the poor neglected souls
or you could just wire the door up to the mains by mistake

Razorblades overhanging bottom of inside of door-screwed or riveted right along the full width.Teach them a lesson and youve got a dna sample if they
try.

With the greatest of respect, you can't really call anyone a thief unless something was actually taken.

Do that and you'll end up in more trouble than them if they cut themselves. You aren't allowed to set traps for burglars in this
country.
On the other hand if you were in your kitchen polishing a golf club and heard a noise you could defend yourself with it if they tried something. But
you're only allowed one good hit (not allowed to club them into a coma while they are lying on the ground).

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

You need to borrow a nice dog for a few nights, let it sleep in your garage and it'll give you an early warning by barking as soon as
they're walking up your drive. Then get an automatic door opener and press the open button as soon as the dog barks and then you can sit back
and enjoy watching them running down the street with a dog hanging off there arse
Always keep a big hammer and a condom in your toolbox, if you can't fix it with the hammer

ahh yes but after you have clubed them into a coma a few self inflicted defence cuts to your hands(if you can take the pain) then put the knife beside
the scum bag hey presto your actions were appropriate to the threat

OK - breaking and entering scumbags!
It should be more difficult to get in now but there's a limit to what I can do as its a rented house.

the worst thing you will sadly find is the lost sleep as you keep waking up and looking out the window - been there, got the teeshirt.

Pikeys got their just desserts, but if there is one thing I can't stand it's loud mouthed slappers yelling obscenities, I'd rather
listen to a thousand nails being scraped down a blackboard (oops, sorry, "chalkboard" . It should be punishable by removal of voice
box.

Possibly. People can surprise you, and it's this negative stereotyping and hostility towards the young people of today that makes them feel
alientaed and possibly depressed. You really ought to write a note of apology and tape it to your garage door.
