A spate of thefts of tools from vans in the area - reported in the local
news. I cynically suggested an alarm triggered by a PIR linked to a Pepper
Spray.

Seriously though - what is best practice?

Van vault. Although I can drill the locks out in about 2 minutes the toe
rags who break into vans probably cannot.

Sound Bomb or Smoke Cloak?

It's probably a bit dodgy legally to use blank cartridge bird scarers.

I suppose it would if you taught it how to use a drill.

And any alarm/pepper spray etc.

Corse it does. The dog scares the scrotes ****less
and they worry about it going straight thru the
window and eating them alive.

I have a big patio door right next to my letterbox
which is actually outside the house on the end of
the wall, unlike yours which are in the door itself.

The posty shows up on a motorbike and zooms
up to the letterbox and leans over and puts the
letters and smaller parcels in the letterbox.

Every time that happens, the alsatian goes
absolutely bananas, hurling himself against
the patio door, he's an inside dog.

Posty ****s himself wondering when the dog
will go straight thru the door glass some day.

I know Trunk monkeys can be taught to use tools but I'm not sure about
a drill. ;-)
