Things must be bad there if you need to sleep in your garage to protect your possessions. In your position I'd get myself a couple of Rotties.......they seem to deter people for some reason. Yeah but the cat will kill them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the knife but it’s not worth using or going to prison for. For a good scare them off an unloaded shotgun works. Good call but I won’t get down there that fast. When you’ve got to get your leg on first things take a while longer hence my way of dealing with it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car shop had a few in stock, but the post fittings are way to big, and the cables are about 4 times thicker than the scoots original earth lead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also speak through it though and tell the little bastards the police have been called and if they want to remain free they’d better scarper asap. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a life he led! He wrestled all over the world......till he was well into his 60's in fact. He was a seriously tough guy......not somebody you'd fuck about with despite his flamboyant image! There's many stories about him, but my favourite was when they booked him to do a match with Jimmy Savile in 1971! And he was supposed to go very easy on Savile and let him win. He wasn't happy with that......so he just went in and beat the shit out of Savile! Fucking legend!
