How to stop someone pinching the wire cutters

the feeling they may not have thought that one through?



Yeah, it would be easy for anyone to just take along some wire cutters in their pocket and.... oh, aaahh, mmmm, welllll, doh!

It'll stop the casual "Oh, dear, I must have left them in my pocket by accident", which is normally all that's needed.

Anyone who wants to steal something like that will find a way, no matter what you do.

Maybe the wire is a cleverly disguised twin pair, that when cut, causes a loud alarm to sound.

I once had to use the toilet in an MOT station ... the key was attached to a 12"x4" piece of plywood ...

... or raises a shutter releasing a pack of retriever-alsation crosses who chew the thief and retrieve the wirecutters.

I have tied a cord to the toilet brush (and melted the knot so it can't be undone) for a long-drop flushable toilet, to stop people dropping the brush a couple of metres into the black hole.

If dropped, does it emerge in an alternate universe?

No, it is just one core.

But it is connected to the mains supply.

Looks like insulation on the handles to me.

That's so the 'management' know who last used it and blocked it by 'pinching off a pipe choker'! Filthy animals... Mechanics :)

That is what it is meant to look like.

Well I don't like what's down there, waiting to pounce:

several people every year.

And I just had to put out an ordinary 40mm Tegenaria because my wife wouldn't!

Fortress near Wellington we would find whole armies of them lurking in the tunnels.

If one hops on to your toilet paper when you aren't looking, they are rather abrasive. The bodies are 4 inches long and the leg span is 9 inches.
