But a baseball bat with nails in is very handy if you have problems with mice

Saw a woman carrying a couple of ski poles, with metal spikes on the end - seemed a good burglar deterrant to me.

Nah, they are too light weight.

Get yourself a nice brass poker set

Seems that endangered species list is pretty unforgiving then.

You'll just have to teach your Rottie how to shoot Eric, after all, according to an adds campaign running in GB at the moment Arthur Bell, after perfecting his whisky, taught his dog to play the bagpipes

Wasp Spray
A friend who is a receptionist in a church in a high risk area was
concerned about someone coming into the office on Monday to rob them
when they were counting the collection. She asked the local police
department about using pepper spray and they recommended to her that
she get a can of wasp spray instead.

The wasp spray, they told her, can shoot up to twenty feet away and is
a lot more accurate, while with the pepper
spray, they have to get too close to you and could overpower you. The
wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker until they get to the
hospital for an antidote. She keeps a can on her desk in the office
and it doesn't attract attention from people like a can of pepper
spray would. She also keeps one nearby at home for home protection.
Thought this was interesting and might be of use.

On the heels of a break in and beating that left an elderly woman in
Toledo dead, self defense experts have a tip that could save
your life.

Val Glinka teaches self-defense to students at
Sylvania Southview High School.. For decades, he's suggested putting a
can of wasp and hornet spray near your door or bed.

Glinka says, "This is better than anything I can teach them."

Glinka considers it inexpensive, easy to find, and more effective than
mace or pepper spray. The cans typically shoot 20 to 30 feet; so
if someone tries to break into your home, Glinka says "spray the
culprit in the eyes". It's a tip he's given to students for
decades.

It's also one he wants everyone to hear. If you're looking for
protection, Glinka says look to the spray.

"That's going to give you a chance to call the police; maybe get
out."

Maybe even save a life.

Just got this in an e-mail........not a bad idea.

And if it does not work you can hit them with the tin

But knowing our justice system the plod would probably charge you with GBH, as the poor thief has rights

More likely to get away with it than pepper spray. You just say the wasp spray is always there as you are scared of wasps

the way our justice system works using it on wasps may carry a murder charge

It is a good suggestion though.

I have a can of wasp spray under the sink.

Methinks it might just be moved

banjoman · 14-01-2010, 19:09

wait till summer and spray a wasp till its dead. Then store it under your bed next to the spray. After Mr burglar is sprayed, stick the dead wasp up his nose and claim he had a wasp on his face and you were concerned for his wellbeing and tried to prevent it from stinging him.

Ot get a fake one like a kids toy, then place it on him after he has been sprayed. In the middle of the night how could you tell it was your kids fake one rather than a real one, so you`d better be safe than sorry

accyman · 14-01-2010, 19:44

much simpler to kill the burgular , not report it to teh police and hide teh body under the patio.

i doubt they will have left information on where they are going to be with anyone

Buddy of mine, a couple of years ago, heard noises outside his house ... the motion sensor lights were on ... and he could hear someone trying the door. He phoned 911, and told the dispatcher what was going on. He told them to hurry, because he was loading; and if they weren't there quick there would be a body to pick up. The cruiser was there before he could finish loading and get downstairs.

The cops took the perp away .... they checked that he had an FAC (Firearms Acquisition Certificate); checked that his firearms and ammunition storage conformed to the law; and went on their merry way.
