The little swines, lets hope plod caught them riding without a numberplate somewhere nearby. Don't know if you've seen this type of alarm? £20 quid fitted in ten mins, aught to deter them, in the future, more often than not, they do have the brass neck to return, I have heard of good reports from lads who have bought and fitted these alarms too. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220792853726?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now then, every householder wanting to protect his house,family should have a baseball bat, somewhere close at hand, but having one popped inside a brolly stand, or just behind the door, is looking a bit suss,in the eyes of plod anyroad, but now stay with me here, a signed baseball, and (SIGNED) baseball bat, hung pride of place in your hallway, slightly out of the way if needs be, but near to the door/exit, isn't classed as a weapon as such, but a sporting momento, sent over by a friend, or brought back as a souvineer, from a trip stateside,(still with me?) and should ever, god forbid, the time arises for you to protect yourself/family, and you are in the vicinity of said baseball bat, you can take off its place you've chosen to hang it, and use it for your protection, lawfully, as this would be the first thing to come to hand, for your protection.
