I got similar revenge when someone broke into our garden shed and stole a large box of dud lightbulbs. I won't go into why we had kept a box a non-working lightbulbs in the first place (long story), but I would love to have been a fly on the wall when the thief got home and tested them all, one by one :-)

They weren't real thieves then, just taking the p*ss. ;-)

Excellent thread :-)

At least you didn't do what that scottish guy did off the telly last night - rig up a sawn off shotgun booby trap...

Nick.

Well that makes a change then!...

A small step in the right direction giving some rights back to law abiding people..

I bet it wouldn't stop one of those Personal Injury firms that are always advertising on TV having a go for damages though :-(

IANAL, but AIUI the Police are only concerned with *criminal* law; civil liability is another thing. Cases like OJ Simpson in the US can, and have, happened here as well.

Just to return to the thread a mo' - a lucozade bottle has a mighty small top :-)

And think of the danger of (say) a woman in a short skirt walking past while it's in use...

Would it be possible to rig a retired power tool so that when it was switched on would cause a minor/major shock... :-)

Thought about it - I've got an old 1000v Megger but decided with my luck the light fingered toe rags would probably have a heart attack (or bump their head on the door-frame) and I'd finish up in court paying them compo. Richard.

Let's hope his sex life's impaired enough to stop the scrote from procreating!

Brad.

I was thinking that if he is physically impaired to the extent that he couldn't perform then he should never have been sent to prison in the first place - a free lifetime subscription to Playboy magazine would have been a very fitting sentence!

Yes I watched the program and agree that Martin only did half of the job. But if I left a dangerous power tool in my shed I would love for someone to illegally remove it from my premises and then when he came to use it got badly hurt I wonder if he would try and claim compensation from me now that would be really really funny. ==:-)

Trouble is I have a feeling they'd be more likely to sell it than use it; and possibly ask enough to make it look legit as a secondhand purchase to some poor devil who knows no better.

The consequences of that could be just awful in so many ways.

What price THAT justice?

Each to his own!

You think it's a good idea to eradicate those who buy second hand goods? Takes all sorts I guess! ;o)

Only after I have sold all my junk to them:-).

However, I really meant more that someone who would buy a piece of dangerous equipment and use it without having it checked out by someone with a clue is on the point of eliminating themselves from the gene pool, to the benefit of the human race in the future.

These are the people driving around in cut-and-shut cars with faulty brakes. Think about that next time you are on the motorway, but not if you tend to freeze in the face of terror:-).
