Default Pikeys at it again in my area.

Again, the local Pikeys are thieving from outbuildings and workshops in the
local area. Steel, horse tack, power tools - if it aint nailed down its
gone.

I need some form of intruder alert on my outbuildings and barn and found
this outfit:

I would be grateful for comments regarding this system, it's pricey but
seems to fit the bill. Are their any other systems that I should consider?

Thanks Julian.

One of the lads (Nige IIRC) over in uk.media.dvd recently had some
success getting a motorbike back having caught some scrotes in the act
with a camera - they're usually happy enough to help point people in the
right direction as far as types of equipment go - might be worth
reposting the original message in there too !

40 Gypsies died and went to heaven. They turned up at the Pearly Gates and
asked St Peter to let them in.

He said that they didn't have room for all 40 of them. He only had room for
5, so they should go away and think about who would come in.

A short while later St Peter went to see God and said " They've gone!"

God replied, "What, the Pikeys"?

"No the F*cking gates"!!!!

Thanks for a sensible reply. But the jokes are quite good too, much better
than that unbelievable tosh about noisy kettles!

I've already got the security camera situation in hand thanks, and I think
that it may well frighten the Pikeys away.

I've got a shotgun, (for vermin control) but it's not much use when I'm fast
asleep, also given that the law tends to favour the criminal these days I'm
not convinced that pointing it at a Pikey will help me in the long term.
(tempting though it may be)

Julian.

Re my post about the flashing stolen from the industrial estate by pikeys,
there has also been an outbreak of alluminium sign stealing locally.

Actually done me a favour - I now have two jobs to replace flashing & one
job to replace a sign when the new one arrives,

TBH I'd rather the thieving *******s moved on.
