Woke up this morning feeling fine-ish...

[Log-ologist]

At just after 2 am today while the wind was howling and things not fastened down where thrashing arround. I was woken by sounds unfamilliar, including the sound of a steel bar being dropped. That was enough for me to rise and look out the window. What did I see? Nothing but the top of a head by the garage door. It seems I had interupted a burgurlary , of my own property. I opened the window and shouted What the F. are you doing , whence three not so young blokes scarpered up the road. The wife called for the plod while i went out in my night attire. No actual entry was made, they didnt have much chance with a light sleeper like me having a bedroom over the garage. They probably had never tried to break into a garage with an electric roller shutter garage door before. The tossers where on foot and in moments the copper chopper flew round and put more wind up the buggers. Sadly they where not to be found. Today was spent purchasing additional security devices . The details of which I shall not divulge in this place.

 

Sleep well friends .

Problem with securing the door is they damage it even more. Best thing with shutters, unless they are in a remote spot, is to make it so they can be easily levered up.

 

As soon as the dooor is raised less than an inch all hell shouyld break loose in what ever devious way you can imagine.

 

I personally prefer booby trapping, I once bent a tree over and tied a rope to it and pinned it to the floor with a leg loop and a trigger mechanism. Jungle style

 

Game keeper lost his bottle and said to disarm it, they may sue us.

 

I said to him, you wouldn't agree to a swinging log with spikes in then??

[Dean Lofthouse]

I know!!!

 

Make it so the door can be lifted three inches, at which point a spring loaded piece of 3x2 hinged at one end flys out sweeping them off their feet!

 

God I could have so much fun

you want to get a shotgun with wire on the trigger so when they open the door it goes off scaring the sh!t out of them like in the saw film.
