I think that to be honest, he had a point [/quote] Fair comment - I bow gracefully from the fray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Nah - but I had a very nice one nicked from the back garden - which I wrongly assumed to be so remote and at the dead end of a row of isolated cottages as to be safe as houses. And yes I blamed myself for leaving it out and unlocked. Never assume something is safe. Of course I was wrong to blame myself the fault for the theft lay entirely one hundred percent with the thief for stealing it but it's natural to think "Damn I should have locked that". Damn I bowed out of this debate - stop dragging me back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Let's go back to the days of cutting thieves hands off. Good deterrent, and it'll make their typo-ridden ebay descriptions easier to spot too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 True story. A scumbag scroat... sorry young man, was on the roof of one of our local schools and fell through a defective skylight (odd that it was defective considering there was a 'kin HUGE screwdriver next to said skylight). Broke several bones and has subsequently successfully took the Governors/Authority to court for negligence! It was obviously 100% the Governors/Authority's fault for not ensuring the roof/skylight were secure. You'd be so tempted to take him back up and chuck him down again.
