Have you seen how easy it is to get rid of that problem with a spray can of Mr Muscle Oven Cleaner? Not a nice sight by any stretch and losing a pet that way is far worse than a lump of metal that's insured.
What a vile sentence to post, true or not.Used to be quite common place for would be burglars to poison pets in South Africa. Their favourite was to feed dogs raw meat laced with rat poison (or something similar).
I guess that these days, they simply shoot them, given that the vast majority of criminals over there appear to be armed to the teeth now.
Never underestimate the actions a desperate person is prepared to take.
Love it 'in the sticks' - beautiful views, peace, quiet, space - acres of it. I was more annoyed with the dimwit R1loon because he has basically publicised to anyone reading (+ the mongs they know) how to deal with a dog during a burglary. It may well be true, but is R1loon going to confirm every underhand method scumbags use to break into peoples cars/houses? You'd think he'd be somewhat smarter.
I'm all for making it no harder than they are expecting. My family's policy is to leave my keys out (not in view of windows or doors obviously) so that if they do break in then they will just take the cars and we won't have potentially armed, masked men threatening us in the middle of the night.

If I know this is what they do, do you not think it is already well publicised in criminal circles. I'm not a criminal mastermind, nor did I just think it up on the spot. The fact you didn't know that's what they do suggests I've educated you in the ways of the "mongs".

Those suggesting bullet proof doors etc, don't you worry about the risk of fire and the emergency services needing access to your house to rescue bodies before the smoke inhalation kills them?
Yes, it's an unlikely situation but then so is a house being broken into for the car keys.
You just have to make your own decision. A door secure enough to keep bad people out will take time to open if you have a fire.Yes, it's an unlikely situation but then so is a house being broken into for the car keys.

How about a Yale house alarm it phones you if it goes off.
"Hi John, it's the house here""Oh, hiya house, just catching some holiday rays! Oh yes! Everything is well with you I trust?"
"Yeah, John, listen. I'm, erm, sort of getting broken into here"
"What?!?!"
"I'm getting broken into John"
"What, right now?!?! As we speak?!?"
"Yes John, as we speak"
"Can't you do something? Fend them off with a stick? Call the police? Shout for help?"
"No can do John. My instructions are just to give you a call. Just so you're aware of the situation"
"House, I'm in the bloody Maldives!! What can I do from here!?!"
"I'm not really sure. But like I say, I'm just calling you to let you know. Now that he's found your spare car keys, one of them is actually peeing in the sink of the ensuite, right now in fact, in case you were wondering"
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I'd had a little wine that evening
