Oh dear , seem to have caused upset yet again . My comments were to say the least not meant to be taken seriously , although I do accept I should have been more serious as not a joking matter.
I do believe the punishments for the criminal classes when caught should be a lot more severe but would not support shooting then carte blanche.
I agree you can do a lot to make your home less easy to break into , however no home can be totally secure. We are not sure what security our unfortunate friend had in his property. ???
