    Few cops over the years have said to me;
    If ya get hold of them, just make sure their never found.
    Could explain "some" of the missing persons.

    When my son was small, whenever he lost a tooth we would set a trap to catch the tooth fairy - in a bug catcher so that he can keep it LOL.

    off topic I know, but I can't comment on the booby trap act, not up to speed with my trap law to comment.

    Here's a cheap and probably the best deterrent.
    Print out every post you have made in PC or elsewhere and paste it outside the house.
    I am sure they would never step in your house or even neighbors ever again!

    pickpocket 1 - chased down an alleyway with a bunch of others, delivered to police station
    pickpocket 2 - intercepted in metro, held until police arrived
    pickpocket 3 - held up against wall & gave him an English lesson (Australian abusive slang)
    bag snatchers - chased down metro, they got away
    bike thieves - calmly put my hand on their shoulders and told them not to steal my friends bike (it wasnt).

    Last one was a bit silly, two big south american guys half my age. Sometimes bravado can get you hurt so not always good to confront or fight back. In London (where the thieves are much more violent) I used to carry a thin secondary wallet with 20 quid to give them (never had to though).

    @PorkBellyLover.

    Pretty impressive I must say.

    But is it any match for this high tech gizmo:

    @datto once caught a bear in the grounds of mt druitt hospital. He wanted to stay the night though so it ended before it began

    @fullylucky How's the temple? I saw your legitimate ad in gumtree and I have to admit that I wee'd a little.

    I have some pavers that I just need to make sure I don't need, and they are yours

    Very, very, very good :)

    I thought I'd just tell him where they were, and if they happen to disappear, not my problem
