    Explain to me how that sounds jaded? Tired, bored or lacking enthusiasm?

    If you've dogs on a hunt, you can't have them eating things they find along the way. Farmers tend to leave poison around the place for various reasons, this will obviously lead to dead dogs if they eat everything they see. Similarly, you can't have a gurrier of a dog eating every bit of food he sees in the house.

    We're going off track here anyway. Dogs are the best deterrent. Alarms will only let you know when someone has got in, the dogs will let you know when the potential thieves are 20 yards away.

    Being a scumbag seems to be the cool thing to be at the moment. Needs more punching to put a stop to it

    It will not.

    These people smack each other in the jaws for fun.

    Start arresting parents whos children commit crimes. Mother o reilly spends a night in the cells when young Paddy gets arrested. See how much crime they commit then.

    No they don't. They're cowards on their own. Everything is opportunistic when they have surprise/numbers on their side. Always numbers/weapons.

    The huge crimewave thats hit Ireland is not down to opportunism. Majority of Criminals are well planned and pretty much do this for a living.

    People who are in and out of Prison. Prison to them is college to us. When someone breaks into a house and only takes cash , jewellery and your car. Thats not opportunism. Thats planned.

    Very true. The sad fact is what these guys are doing is a job to them and for the most part they are very good at their job.

    I've just moved to an area that gets robbed a lot and despite there being little to no young people living nearby there are always gangs of "scumbags" patrolling up and down streets every day. I feel very sorry for all the older folks on the street that live on their own.

    Waterford is small enough to have CCTV on every main road in the City.

    Then again. Look what the bent coppers did with that.

    It costs probably over 100k a year to have a guard on the streets.

    How may house alarms would you fit to elderly peoples houses for that bought in bulk? Might be time to think outside the box.

    Yeah, then we just have boxes that make noise and no one to respond to them.

    Loving the Idea about banging up the parents of any little tramps-in-training that get busted.

    Great outlook there, one incident in over 2 years with the CCTV in and it's a scam by the Gardai for their own personal gain...

    They would be wired into a central system where mobile guards would be paged instantly.

    Silent alarm for 2 mins after message is sent to give the guards the jump, then blare loud alarm and maybe even a camera.

    This would be all basic technology. Nothing new here.

    One incident that we know about,how many time's have this practice gone undetected.
    Re prison and college.The IRA used to refer to Portlaoise prison as the university. The problem in Ireland is sentences are to short and therefore we have no real deterrent,prison should not be a pleasant experience.
    This little sh¡te will have some do gooder plead bad family life,abuse and bad company,the usual crap that is put foward in case'e like this.There will be doctor's report's,social worker's report's,family report's,etc etc all at our expense,for what,so that mommy's little darling feel's this is everybody's fault except his and will do it again just for all the attention he got.
    I think we should take a leaf out of Malaysia's book,where he would be taken to a child prison,strapped over a wooden support where his naked arse would receive from one to five lashes from a nice thick birch.He would think twice the next time he passed an open window.

    I'm sure if it was rampant as you imply there'd be a lot more cases brought to light. We also don't hear of the hundreds of cases which receive a prosecution due to the cctv being there, unless of course it's a Garda that's involved in committing the crime.

    I will agree with you on the sentencing though. There is no deterrent.

    These people are Bitches. A few times over the years I had run ins with a couple people. One that i remember , was 12 years ago now, only remember how long ago it was because my sister got such a fright she went into lagbour. 7or 8 lads surrounded me and I got headbutted in the back of the head, went forward obviously but pushed one of them into the wall behind him. Now im no chuck Norris so I done a usain bolt and got away. Took about 3 years but I caught 3 of them on their own and each time the little arseholes themselves. One couldn't remember the incident but I know for a fact he did. The other fella started crying so I didn't bother smacking him. He got the idea. The other fella apologised so I left him off. Still 1 fella that I would love to knock the head off him after all these years but I'm happy that the 3 I caught got the fright of their life so even if I don't catch yer man , ill be happy-ish.
    Moral of the story. They're all Bitches on their own

    OK fair play to for getting your own back I suppose but I would never advise anyone to do something like this. I was almost robbed by two guys about three years ago. I would never attempt to do anything like, not because I'm a woman with no upper body strength but because you never know if one of them will pull a weapon. After the incident a cousin of one of my would-be-robbers was charged for murder after a fight/robbery got out of hand. I'd rather be an alive victim than a dead hero.

    If they where members of a certain community you wouldnt have thought twice about retaliation.

    Most Scumbags from estates couldnt get 50 men together in an hour. But members of that certain community mostly have nothing but respect for their parents so lock the parents up for a week for first offence, 2 weeks for second offence etc.. Cut childrens allowance by 10 euro for every offence.

    See what happens then.

    If I had any strength I'd probably do the same myself but that one jujitsu move I learned when I was 14 would only get me so far!
