I heard a case in the UK of a man who had an allotment and his shed kept getting broken into and vandalised and the police just weren't interested. Anyway one day he got so fed up with coming down to find his stuff wrecked AGAIN so he wired the shed up to the mains. Then HE was prosecuted for potentially causing bodily harm to the vandals! I also heard that if a burglar is injured in your home for example by falling because of an unsafe bannister, YOU can be sued for negligence! It's a crazy world. :shock: [/quote]
Not here....you have the right to protect your property and we actually thought of wiring the mailbox to give them that electricity of love:)But, I want to catch the troll at it...and, if it is who we are thinking it is...he's in his 20's! Our last mailbox lasted for awhile for we bought one of those cheap plastic ones and lined it w/wood....so, when they drove by and hit it...it would hurt! They finally took a knife to it and cut it to pieces. So this one is no fun...I have it on the top of the post (for nowI can't mount the box since they cut off the other one at the post!)tied on w/bungee cords...so, hitting it, it will drop....hopefully no fun!:)Wish me luck, camera was on last night and by the looks of it...I still have the mailbox today...darn!
