hirezIt looks like Thieving Little Scrotes attempted to break into the garage again last night. It also looks like the sheet of rusty steel tread-plate I accidentally left propped up against the door functioned as an alarm/guillotine and scared the miscreants off. There was no blood on the concrete, so likely no-one will need tetanus boosters...
Obviously I'd be foolish to advocate something terrible like propping a few dead monitors in such a position that careless door opening would make them fall, glass-first, onto the ground where a careless door-opener might have its head or hands. Especially given that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aoakley's LJ is apparently monitored by The Polis and damaging burglars is considered Not On.
(Which reminds me - I'd better get my tetanus booster sorted out. It's been about ten years since the last one.)

Lift? No problem at all. Though we'll be away to Points North by lunchtime Wednesday.
