Poor victim, you can't be surprised when innocent people take the law
into their own hands sometimes. It must be akin to mental torture to be
constantly harassed and burgled and your gardens/allotment vandalised
over a period of time.

I know some people feel that property is not worth injuring someone
over, but good grief there's always the last straw.............


What worries me more is the thought that if a burglar broke into my messy
shed, and accidentally got lime or something else in his eyes, then I could
be held liable for that injury. I could presumably end up in prison without
having taken any direct action against the burglar at all.

Some thing worries me with the local kids playing in the trees on my
boundary. If they fall and hurt themselves on my fence then I assume I'd be
held liable for that as well.

I certainly remember the case of a child who climbed over someones fence and
up their chestnut tree to get conkers. He fell and injured himself and then
sued the owner.
