Yeah, it would be easy for anyone to just take along some wire cutters in
their pocket and.... oh, aaahh, mmmm, welllll, doh!

It'll stop the casual "Oh, dear, I must have left them in my pocket by
accident", which is normally all that's needed.

Anyone who wants to steal something like that will find a way, no matter
what you do.

Tciao for Now!

Maybe the wire is a cleverly disguised twin pair, that when cut,
causes a loud alarm to sound.

I once had to use the toilet in an MOT station ... the key was attached
to a 12"x4" piece of plywood ...

I have tied a cord to the toilet brush (and melted the knot so it
can't be undone) for a long-drop flushable toilet, to stop people
dropping the brush a couple of metres into the black hole.

If dropped, does it emerge in an alternate universe?

No, it is just one core.

But it is connected to the mains supply.

Looks like insulation on the handles to me.

That's so the 'management' know who last used it and blocked it by
'pinching off a pipe choker'!
Filthy animals... Mechanics :)

That is what it is meant to look like.

Wetas are harmless. But then, so is the Huntsman spider, and that kills
several people every year.

And I just had to put out an ordinary 40mm Tegenaria because my wife
wouldn't!

:-) They're great little critters - years ago when I was working at the
Fortress near Wellington we would find whole armies of them lurking in
the tunnels.

If one hops on to your toilet paper when you aren't looking, they are
rather abrasive. The bodies are 4 inches long and the leg span is 9
inches.
