no offense ment... but, you're likely not Canadian... doughtful you're an Aussie. definately not American. that leaves Irish or Scottish but most Americans consider them a part of the UK. if that is the case my inferrence that you are a pom is unintended. i suppose i could just as annoyed if you were to imply that i am a yankee. to you that would be correct. to me that is an insult.

Yeah, I do, it's all those gits CARRYING GUNS and PUTTING UP FRICKEN CAMERAS that I find highly gorram suspect.

They are thank god

that said every police force has it's own armed response vehicle's and all are mostly armed at airports

It's my opinion that's how it should remain, arming all police would increase gun deaths here a fact you maybe aware of in the USA police are often shot with they're own weapon.

Interesting fact - local reports indicate the greater number of crimes are by the 20-30 crowd, rather than teenagers.

I disagree with that, most of the crimes committed by minors 18 below are not reported or pursued because of fear of counter law suits (me have a lot of laws protecting minors which is good and bad at the same time). IMHO most of the petty crimes like vandalism, small time theft are probably committed by teens, especially teens with absentee parents which sadly is a worldwide phenom

No big deal, no facts and figures to support what I said above

Guess we all suffer the same problem

Silly question possibly, but if you can't video them,, can you make them think that you are? Put up a sign, like one of those professional signs from a security company saying that you are taping that area and put up a camera that is getting power but not hooked up to anything to make them think that they are being taped? Do you think that would work as a deterrant? Also, if you can't video them can you take still pics? You could also, if you can afford it or can rig it yourself, put in motion sensors that are just blinding and add a loud siren or something that will scare the crap out of them. That's a really crappy situation...I hope you get it resolved without any more damage to your property.

Yeah some good ideas

I'm leaning towards putting a photo of a window on a stick position it away from my windows, my guess is with the mentality they have the photo will get the hits

I can't support vigilantism, at least not overtly,

That's why we suggested wearing a mask, it's a "covert" operation.

Truth is like cooking.

Sure you need a little bit of substance, but with enough worcestershire sauce and the right presentation you can convince people of anything.

Truth is absolute! But we could always bend and sometimes twist it!

sappyg · **Reply #49 on:** September 01, 2009, 03:49:16 AM

actually truth is like truth.... what is right or wrong and what we know... proof is truth! facts are owned by people that can afford them.

cooking is like cooking... sometimes no matter what or how hard you try the dish still sucks. simply putting more ketchup on a crappy hamburger is just ketchup on a crappy hamburger and it is a poor attempt to avoid the truth. ........ lousy chef!
