Stolen night of Thursday 22nd May

[TIMON]

While the the robber gets taxpayer funded counselling so he can recover from his "trauma" and hefty compo claim to set him up for life.....

The world is a sick place sometimes...

Nice one Steven. All the best mate.

One firm I know has a smoke system fitted so when the little sh1ts get in it fills the building up with high density smoke and they can't see a thing even to get out well to give the cops a chance to catch them!!

 

A good friend of mine had his place broke into when the alarm went off 2am he was down there in 12 mins

The cops got there in 15 mins they had been and gone about 20 saw 10 strimmers blower lawn mowers hedge cutters gone

 

 

Is it a chipper, is it a mower or another broken stump grinder who cares we'll fix it!

Sorry to hear about your loss. When we had a health and safety audit done at previous site the H&S consultant told us that we needed to make sure that our premises were safe for burglars!!! If a thief enters your property and hurts himself you get sued... Outrageous but true. It's a sad state of affairs but it's not just the thieves you have to contend with these days. My advice is be wise when adding security measures, while it's very tempting to install aggressive measures they can come back and bite you (costly litigation etc...) as an ex-thief I would recommend muti-layered physical defences. Then perhaps false floors and walls for concealed storage. Leave out only old nackered machinery as decoys..

Hope you recover from your losses soon.

I would not worry to much, we hear about all these cases of criminals suing, but in reality the law is not as much of an ass as people make out

Its a little bit like the h+s scaremongering that goes on and tells us how easily we'll get sued for the slightest indiscretion, guy I used to work for had a scrappy old stump grinder badly maintained missing guards etc, the operator stopped using it went for lunch and the clients kid ended up burning himself on the exhaust.

 

It went to court and got dismissed within 10 mins with the judge saying the parents were negligent letting the kid out in to what was obviously a dangerous work area, this would have been without signs, barrier tape etc.

It's all about an area of the law called Occupier's Liability. There are different levels of Duty of Care to different visitors ie you would owe a higher level of Duty of Care to a legitimate visitor such as the postman than you do to a burglar. If you deliberately set out to injure a trespasser/burglar with traps and devices designed to injure then you are highly likely to end up in court. If somebody injures themself on a legitimate security measure while trying to break in, that is their problem. As for sueing, there is a defence known as ex turpi causa non oritur actio which basically excludes somebody from claiming for such an injury obtained while engaged in a criminal act. Mere trespass, however, is a civil rather than a criminal act.
