Cycle Security Upset

[classic33]

I'm not sure I follow this thread.

OP has installed an alarm containing a shotgun cartridge that explodes and goes bang. It has gone bang. That much is clear.

OP also knows/speculates that: There was an intruder, the intruder got their "arm jammed slightly" in the frame. The intruder a "brown trouser moment"

No one has taken or has threatened to take any legal action or has raised any kind of complaint.

OP is unsure whether the device is legal, so started this thread.

Answers so far: Yes, No, Maybe.

My theory is that a large spider set the alarm off. Spiders do not have eardrums, indeed they do not have ears, but they do have sensory hairs that can detect sound. If I was the OP I would be very afraid of arachnid revenge attacks.

It started out simple enough, legal alarm stops theft.

Person entered onto private property(with intent to steal/deprive the legal owner).

Whilst in this process he tripped an alarm, causing a "brown trouser moment" for himself. Also catching his arm whilst following the chain through the frame when alarm sounded.

Should he make a complaint, I hope he does so before next Thursday. What he left on the floor has been double bagged and disposed off. With some just washed away. I can reunite him with some of what he dropped, whilst he explains why he was there at that time.

If it was a spider that tripped the alarm, they're getting clever. And bigger, big enough to pull a pin 3/4 inch to trip the alarm. Get to that size and I'll use other means to keep the spiders away.

CCTV?

CCTV?

Issues with a neighbour who doesn't like the idea of a camera that "may be pointing in their direction".

I got out, I'd to free the frame from the arm.

Be very afraid

Wait, what? He actually literally pooped on your floor? That's not a brown trouser moment, that's revenge. He was so angry because he'd been frightened that he took the best revenge he could think of with the tools he had at hand.

See my wanting to key a car upthread.

Why not leave him trapped and call the police?

I disagree with Stevie in Denmark. I don't feel inclined to argue with him, he doesn't seem inclined to call me rude names. Good grief, could it mean we're both behaving like grown ups?

My old Headmaster said it'd never happen, and I've finally proven him wrong!

He was danger of damaging the cycle.
Other than his DNA sample left behind, he'd gone when I reappeared with a phone, having been placed on hold, having been told my call was important to them.

Impressive pooping, with one hand caught though.

Why do you need your hands? Town centres are full off people who require no hands, every weekend.

His rear end, leaving a greater part in what he was wearing? I never checked, just assume he left with most of it.

I tend to use mine to unbuckle a belt and progress from there.

Even when you're somewhere you shouldn't be, at a time you shouldn't be?

 

[classic33]

And I did get this sign when I bought mine. It's in place.

Well, anyone that I discover breaking into my property will feel the wrong end of a 2x4 ! An alarm mine is bloody hilarious !

I'm hoping it gets nicked as it's insured up the wazoo and I fancy a new Kuota and some Spinergys

Then you've to explain the 2x4.

He walked into it in a rush !
