The burglar gets a slap on the wrist, you get done for assault and the burglar claims damages against you and likely wins. If you wish to safely go down the hurley route then do a thorough job, remove the burglar from the premises, leave them out on the street, get rid of the hurley and go back to bed, I reckon.

To be honest we haven't seen too many cases where people have been prosecuted for defending their property except the high profile Nally case.

Would it really be that hard to frame him anyway after you knock him out/kill him, put a knife in his hand or whatever before the police get there or something?

2 old women robbed in closegate yesterday and a 5euro was taken,also a number of incidents in grantstown park which also involved a garda getting assaulted

Gardai in Waterford are investigating a theft in the city in which a Garda was assaulted. At approximately 1.40am Gardai were called to Grantstown Park where a number of incidents had been reported.

However during the course of one of these arrests a Garda was assaulted. He was punched a number of times in both sides of his head. The suspect also scraped his face a number of times and put his hands around his neck in a strangle hold. his eyes were also gouged at.

I wonder did the fcuker that attacked the Garda while being arrested "bounced around in the Paddy wagon a bit" on the way to the station. I sincerely hope he did.

I just read about that poor disabled man out in Ballybeg where all the glass in his windows and doors were put in.

The man puts in or out for noone and thats what scumbags out there decide to do to him. And of course the corporation refuses to help. So he is practically in darkness.

Makes we weep so it does.

They smashed all the glass in his windows and doors. He hasn't got a clue why they would do it.

Anyway, the council won't replace the windows as they say they have no obligation to do so.

Just a quick bump on this thread. A guy working with me got a phone call yesterday to say his alarm was going off. He went to house but couldn't see any sign of tampering with windows/doors.
His neighbour's house had an attempted break in last Friday 10:30am. Someone knocked on front door, the person in the house didn't hear the door thus no reply.
There was someone around the back trying to open the window, when he saw the house occupied he fled (he was in his 40/50's and from the travelling community)
Just to keep extra vigilant in our estates.

Edit : I forgot to mention what area it was (King's Channel, Dunmore Road)

A house break in was carried out in Summerville Avenue on the week leading into the May bank holiday. A quantity of jewellary was stolen. A white, Limerick reg, Volkswagen Caddy type van was spotted acting suspiciously in the area around the time of the robbery.

In a seperate incident in the same week, residents of the Grange Lawn area noticed a group of youths checking for unlocked doors in the area. I understand that one of the residents recognised one of the suspects, who were caught by the Gardai.

I may aswell say this to yee all here with Telecom phone watch, this system is useless as criminals are using GSM blockers on the system which deactivates the system, Im pretty sure the sensors are wireless and this blocks the signals, so thieves are using these blockers that can be got online thats why Eircom is useless, there are other ways too to block the system you dont even need to do that, I knew this about 10 years ago its nothing new its just more common place now, eircom wireless alarms are complete tosh

Who said anything about buying GSM blockers? nobody once here stated that so please dont slander me by implying i was talking about that.

I was merely pointing out the fact that CRIMINALS are using GSM blockers and they render your wire free alarms useless, but you dont need GSM blockers to render an eircom phone watch system useless.

RE SNIP, Snip might take down the connection to central base but it wont prevent the system from ringing, and im sure theres a tamper switch wired into the phone and if a signal is lost it will send the alarm into action, A loss of signal should also raise an alarm with central station.

As said in a previous post Wire Free alarms are useless and id urge all of you to avoid them like the plague,

Well i didnt see the link sorry I apolagise, what IDIOT would put a link up thats just stupid.
The funny thing is i was listening to Joe Duffy not so long ago and there was a guy who was running a pub quez who used a GSM blocker so the people couldnt google the answeres with their mobiles, he wasnt long on being pointed out that he was doing was ilegal because of so many different reasons apart from the obvious

Any new alarm, by new alarm I mean one that has been installed in the last 10 years, can't be tampered with by these scanners. Older alarms can be tampered with as the signals aren't used to newer technology.

I know this because I had my phone watch serviced in March & the Eircom technician told be all about it.

I'd be curious how any eircom engineer can claim this,

if you have a cell signal blocker then it can without a doubt be affected, in the same way as your mobile wouldn't work in proximity to a cell signal blocker.

The only way it woudn't be affected is if the alarm was using an actual PSTN line,

Dont think the community watch thing really works. Where I live loads of guards live in the estate but houses still getting hit. Only way is to keep an eye out of people acting suspiciously. That does work.

decies

Just look out for any white vans that should cover most things !!
