A bit of a ticking off!

news "Baz" wrote in message ... We have had some intrusions in the past and have done (at a cost) some security measures such as PrikaStrip and GuardCam. These reccommendations were given to us from the police and we have bought the products and installed them. All of that has not stopped a certain indivdual from using our garden as a shortcut to his parents house when he has had a taste of beer and heaven knows what else. Thinking I was within the law I put a bit of barbed wire in his way in MY garden betweem the Prika Striped fences. There is no way in or out unless your intentions are criminal. He got a bit entangled, snagged his body and clothing, and I have an ASBO for my efforts. He rang his parents and they knew or at least thought they knew where he was. The GuardCam worked against me in this case because I had the cheek to protect my property. Baz I have put up barbed wire to stop little scrotes flattening the mesh I put along the top of a wall to stop the dog escaping. It has never occurred to me that I may be in trouble if said scrotes hurt themselves on it. To be honest although it is along a back wall mostly out of sight I hate seeing it there but had no choice. Mike Mike, a word of caution, Keep your barbed wire, but be aware that you could get yourself a criminal record if a perp injures him/herself whilst potentially harming you or your property after entering your premises. I hope it never happens to you. Baz |

I hope it never happens to you. Barbed wire along the top of a fence/wall etc. is fine - it's likely to be clear to anyone trying to climb over - though probably wise to keep it up high enough to avoid accidental contact. Signs might be a wise if in doubt (like the ones you see for anti climb paint etc.) You fell foul of putting something out deliberately to catch someone who would be otherwise unawares. It might be that suitable visible signs at the entrance to the property might have been sufficient to avoid the problem with the FPN. And they would not necessarily be intending to do a criminal act - trespass itself isn't a criminal offence. And someone may come into your garden for entirely innocent reasons -say a dog escaped and got into your garden. They might come into retrieve it when no one was about. If you have a suitable wall etc. they go over, anti climb/vandal paint can work well. As it causes them some grief with paint on hands clothes etc. -- Chris French |
