clakk Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) Happened here to a small holding , front door ,big lock under steel plates so they peeled the back wall from the metal shed and took everything and came back two months later.As the wall had been reinforced the roof was "tin openered" They knew insurance replacements would be there for the taking Edited April 23, 2019 by clakk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve been coming through the roofs for years, that’s why I recommended dual tech sensors inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbird Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) I am afraid no alarm on earth going to stop the travelling scum from breaking in. Edited April 23, 2019 by blackbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick miller Posted April 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 It's not them, it's the criminal element that follows them around, committing crimes to give them a bad rep. Don't you listen to hand wringing liberal media spokespersons (see what I did there) or what? Just now, Dougy said: Tony Martin had the best deterrent. What's that? Three years in prison? I don't think I'll bother thanks. My own opinion? They should be sent back to Ireland, where they're way of life isn't welcome, but as that's not going to happen anytime soon I think the motion detector is the best bet. You'll never stop anyone truly determined but to get through my roof you'd have to cut through 2 layers of reinforced roofing membrane, 20mm of exterior ply, 100mm of Kingspan, 6" joists (you'd never get through the gaps), 20mm of plasterboard - I can;t see that being quiet enough not to wake the dogs.

clakk Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 J.Corbyn esq would thank you for your kind and understanding words Mick, as a minority they should be excempt from such persecution and giving wheelbarrows full of cash to stop them getting bored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltings Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 a few poachers alarms in possible access areas or at blind side of the sheds at chest height so dogs cats etc don't set them off will wake everyone up some carpet grippers along the top of the fence panels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

la bala Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 +1 for 12 bore trip alarms. The times i have forgotten i had them, that sudden feeling you get on your leg when you trip it. They will certainly wake the dead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, then end up letting your house and yard go completely to ruin and live out of your car for the rest of your life because you've got a target on your head? Get real, following in Tony Martin's footsteps is probably the worst thing you could do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benthejockey Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 The blank alarm mines are good. I bet you can get exploding ink dye packs that you can set up with a trip wire too. It's hard to deny you were there if you're covered in blue ink and look like a smurf. I cant remember the height limit but if your building is high enough its perfectly acceptable to glue broken bottles to the top of the wall - Sir Mark Prescott has his yard walls topped with broken bottles in newmarket.

daveboy Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 You can get pet friendly PIR's that will not pick up less then 20kg so the Owls should not set them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm going for, cheap, reliable, no external power required, will notify me (or the dogs) inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonmick Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 I have just added an alarm to my garden. A pwr at each gateway and an audible alarm on the wall by a window so it will be heard. It runs completely off batteries and so far has been very good. The whole set was around £160 I am away at the moment but will post the name of it next week if its of any use.

AlistairB Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 We have outside alarmed with a Pyronix Enforcer wireless system using a combination of PIR's and impact sensors for the entry points most likely to be sledgehammered. You can add cameras etc later and monitor the whole lot and set/unset from your phone or fobs. AB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Oh dear, Oh dear. Im sure you wouldn't go down that road (ill give you some credit) I dont think I said anything about you doing likewise. Did I But whats on the table at the moment regarding burglaries at the moment in this country you have you possessions taken and most of the time all you bet back is a 4 digit number. And just for the record Mick they are not all from Ireland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put the mine in a bucket of used engine oil. I've been told it works well. Wouldn't want to clean the mess up afterwards though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking caustic soda flakes or chilli powder or pepper powder would work on the same way would not come back for seconds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerosolising capsicum or pepper would also probably come under noxious substances but would be harder for Tommy the tinker to prove "I was robbing this place and I got a load of chilli in my eyes". Either way probably not a good idea realistically incase you set it off yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted April 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 I'm not needing to maim anyone, I just need to be alerted, can we please keep things sensible even if the travelling folk are mentioned. As much as I dislike some of the activities that are attributed to them, the means of dealing with them should be kept lawful. PIR and that screamer alarm seems to be the simplest solution. I just need to work out a method to remotely trigger the alarm when the PIR is triggered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) You want something that sprays that stinky horse hoof concoction over them. They won't be interested in what's in your shed then. Shame you can't use land mines or other instant justice apparatus for theiving scum.

blackbird Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 If they are going to be there long term your best bet is to move, once you cross or upset that lot of scum bags your life will be not worth living. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
