      There are lots of comments here over the past year saying things to this effect. All of them are unjustified. In fact, we *do not know what the Commissioner wanted*, because (according to M. Taylor xyrself in a comment at watch?v=KDlXyQI1qlk&lc=Ugyyp20-D5bzrIFL-2x4AaABAg.9IP26bVzLxe9IsEAqn4e3D ) the then Commissioner never arranged that meeting. Given that the West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner is an elected office and not a policeman, and that back in 2019 the election was scheduled for 2020, I suspect that a politician was thinking of trying to look tough on crime by association for an election campaign rather than that a policeman was trying to stop M. Taylor. We also know from watch?v=KDlXyQI1qlk that M. Taylor turned this shock system into a business back in 2020. The PCC election was deferred from 2020 to 2021 because of COVID-19 (www.wolverhampton.gov.uk/your-council/elections-and-voting/police-and-crime-commissioner-2021-election).

      We are just as much to blame as our government for buying into this red vs blue crap and generally being apathetic to our local elections that matter the most.

My father hired a private tanker to deliver water to our home, so we washed mountains of clothes and in the evening we put them in on lines in the long wrap around colonial style corridors in the house. In the night, a chap cut through the wire mesh, bent the window bars and began to hook the clothes out into a bag held by his pal. My father got up, watched them for a while and shot one of them in the heel. He let the other escape, he was in the armed forces and could have sent them to eternity if he wanted.

    I love this! I use to keep bags of tools in the trunk of my car. I'm not a tradesman, but I like to do amateur machine and automotive repair. They kept disappearing from the car, and silly me, I thought I had absentmindedly misplaced them. After a number of times I saw that the trunk lock was bent and loose...you could actually rotate the whole cylinder by hand. I called the police. Idiot policeman looked at it and said, "You know, it's not that easy to break into a car trunk." In addition, the whole time he was regarding me suspiciously as though I were the perpetrator, which doesn't make any sense whatsoever. I don't even think he bothered to write up a report. I decided then and there to handle it myself. I spent a few hours to wire the horn to the trunk on/off light switch so that when the trunk was opened, instead of the light going on, the closed circuit blasted the horn (I had a toggle switch in the dash so I could turn off my homemade alarm when I needed to open the trunk myself). That very night, at two in the morning, I was awakened with one long loud horn blast and then several short beeps as the burglar kept opening the trunk but quickly closing it again to stop the horn. Never had a problem with thieving from my car's trunk again. BTW, I would have LOVED to put a large snake in the trunk instead, but I thought that would be cruel to the snake, and anyway, I had no snake handy. LOL

Robbers would come in from from the attic crawl spaces like rats so he had a gauntlet of energized wire, then razor wire, then there was a final ledge that he placed razor blades in a blind spot that had to be grabbed by hands. Eventually the rats figured out the first two obstacles, but the razor blades seemed to be the one that got them every time and they never got past.

      We have boobytrap laws in the US that wouldn't allow it. If it malfunctioned and hurt or killed someone that wasn't breaking into your vehicle, then you could be held liable. I am not saying that I agree with the letter of the law, but I do agree with the spirt of this law. In circumstances where you are setting a shotgun up to fire at anyone that opens a door (what the law was written for) I completely agree. You probably shouldn't do that. However, in cases where nonlethal traps would cause someone to think twice about their actions and most likely run away, I honestly don't have an issue with. I would install this on my car even though vehicle burglaries aren't really an issue where I live. It'd be funny just watching people that I know get zapped by my car.

    Years ago when CB radios were the "hot" items, my sister's CB was stolen from her car; the thieves simply grabbed it and wrenched it from under the dash while the car was at Woodfield Shopping Mall in Schaumburg, IL. The police were useless at that time too. So I installed a new radio under the dash for her, this time screwing razor blades into the sides of the radio near the back. Three weeks later she came out to find "DNA" samples all over the front carpet in blood, as the guy had severed his fingertips when he grabbed the new radio and tried to twist it off the mounts. Look for a guy missing at least two fingertips on his left hand, and one tip from his right hand. But the radio remained in place!

      This brought back memories of my east coast home town and surrounding areas -- In the '50s, Mercury Turnpike Cruiser skirts were the rage for customizing your Ford or Mercury. I had them on a lowered 1956 red and cream Fairlane 500 Crown Victoria and (naturally) had, according to the DMV, illegal mufflers - dual glass packs. But these cruiser skirts were beautiful! Alas, some members of Midnight Auto Parts tried to remove them and met with severely sliced and lacerated fingers thanks to a ring of hidden Schick Injector razorblades that some friends and I tack welded on the inside of the fender skirts. No DNA at the time, but bandaged fingers sufficed to identify the suspeced thieves. Back then, teen-age peer justice was a bitch.

When he replaced the stereo, he rigged it, so that thieves would have to reach under the dash to remove the equalizer, and the main unit. He wired a ton of fish hooks around the entire equalizer. Genius. The next time the thieves came around, you guessed it, the thief was caught, lying outside his car door screaming cause he couldn't get his hand free. Simple lesson, DON'T STEAL!!!

      In this hellhole (central Florida), when you report a theft (out of a locked vehicle or whatever), the pigs tell you "That's what insurance is for" and they refuse to help. (That is, unless you're rich and live in one of 'those' places, then they go over backwards to solve the crime and get your stuff back.) You have someone hacking into your internet (via the cable connection at that) and taking it over (for whatever reason), and you report that - their response is "unless you can prove that they're breaking the law like downloading kiddie porn, there is nothing we can do!" (QUOTE) and when a hacker takes over your elderly folks computer and extorts a lot of money out of them, again "There is nothing we can do!!!". Yet if you call them because it looks like a firework factory or market exploding down the road... what do they do? They come to your house and ream you out for 'bothering them' (the pig finally admitted he could hear the explosions - which cracked two of our windows - more than a mile and a half away, inside his cruiser with the windows closed and AC on)!
      Three out of four times we've been stopped were for bogus reasons - a "broken tail-light" that wasn't, having an "illegal scanner" (licensed two-way radio), and so on (they even admitted to profiling us with the "broken tail light" stop and dropped the fines). The other legitimate times - were for things like forgetting to renew the registration before the deadline, and things like that (and not often, even though we have always battled poverty here).
      Yet we're supposed to respect and trust and especially OBEY the pigs. Nope, never going to happen unless I can see a good reason for it - and trying to keep us from being a witness to police brutality and abuse of power is not a good reason.

    I know how this guy feels. When I was young I'd finally saved enough to buy myself decent hand tools and a tool box. Over about five years I'd developed a nice assortment of peripheral tools as this man described having in his bag, when the tool box was stolen out of my van. I had to list everything I could remember for the insurance company and have a written affidavit from someone that could speak for my character. Though the insurance paid for my loss it was an awful bother shopping for the same things I'd had and it was impossible to replace custom tools that I'd hand made, and vintage tools that I was gifted from older guys in my field. It's been over thirty years and my replacement tool box has never been the same. One of the worst thefts is that of a man's work tools.

We never could catch em so our Grandpa took a hand brace and drilled a big hole in a piece of wood and put a shotgun shell in it and packed bark over it. He show us the piece and said do not touch this piece of wood. A couple of nights later we were about to hit the hay when we heard this muffled bang and we all ran to the window and saw sparks flying out of their chimney and we all laughed like hell and never missed anymore. It helped to that the next day our pappy told theirs that the next one would be in their ass.

      The. Police were called by the thief that burgled his house because the homeowner had taken his own form of vigilante justice on him, the officer responding to the assault charge had to respond to the assault charge by visiting the homeowner, and his wife but that is all he did, he visited the homeowner and his wife basically just going through the motions, finally leaving with a wink, meaning the officer thought the burglar got what he deserved .a good beating. Burglars in the uk , even when caught red handed just walk away with community service or probation

      Be aware: they will steal your tools, then come a month later and steal the NEW tools. I've heard of a guy having his tools vandalized in his workshop only to have the new ones stolen once the insurance had paid out. Clever these scumbags!!!

    When I was a kid, I had a friend that had started a auto and equipment repair business. Someone broke into his garage and stole the few tools he had at that time. He put a big sign on the garage door stating that any attempt to break in would result in severe electrical shock. He had a neon sign transformer hooked to all the door hardware and window frame (which was steel) that put out 20,000 volts. He heated the garage with fuel oil, and had the tank grounded to prevent electrical shocks from starting a fire. The window was above the tank. One morning there was a big imprint in the snow where someone had crawled up onto the tank and touched the window trying to break in. The shock had knocked him off the tank and back into the snow. No further attempts were made to enter the building.

      @@g0fvt The first thing that fire departments do when getting to a fire is shut off gas and electric utilities. So I think that would keep them from danger. An alarm that sends you a signal when the power goes out would notify you of any service interruption.

      People say that chopping thieves' hands off as a sentence is barbaric. But you think the possibility of death by electrocution for anyone who happens to touch a vehicle is okay; that a van should be judge, jury and executioner?

      nagualdesign : People should keep hands to themselves. High voltage fencing, glass shards on top of fence walls, metal pegs, etc very common all over the world. In these countries, when a criminal dies, every one says it’s justified... self inflicted by own’s decision and action.

    Even as an apprentice back in 77 i was approached and asked if i wanted any "knocked off" tools and when told to "f**k off" the person approached me was mystified why everyone they had approached said the same. Even as a boy I knew tools are a mans living, the way he brings food home and pays the bills, puts shoes on his kids feet.
    If this man is stopped from protecting his tools then we should get together and fight against this nonsense. Good luck mate.

    Stealing somebody’s tools is indeed the lowest form of theft. Taking away somebody’s means to make a living is just the lowest kind of stealing. When and if the so called police in his area ever decide to actually do their job and catch these scum bags, the fact that they’re knowingly stealing tools should factor into the severity of their punishment.
