Booby trap tips

[gmanxiii]

Well woke up around 5.30 this morning and thought "that alarm in the distance sounds familiar...." looked round the back and my shed door was open with alarm blaring away. Some pikey scum had wrenched the lock open on it then i presumed was startled/deafened by the 130db alarm i have positioned just above their heads and done one. Dunno how long it was ringing for could of been hours, although i didnt go to bed till about 1 anyway. They are lucky i didnt catch them in the act, i keep a hammer handy. Bike appears to be untouched though and theres nothing worth anything in the shed anyway.

Replacing the lock with something better after work, but will be adding a few more surprises...

was wondering what other feasible and legal, booby traps would be worth considering?

Blank shot gun case triggered on a wire to the garage or bike cover that 'bangs' when triggered.

I believe that farmers use them for scaring birds?

+1 Daddy, or some nice flash bang/ smoke grenades linked to a trip wire.

Superbike magazine had an article on it actually that may be worth a read if you can pick one up from WHSmith. It's the one with the 848 and ZX10R on the front.

I'm in there too.

I think its time for you to watch the Home Alone films!

Just what i was thinking!

Swinging paint cans and upturned nail/tar is always a good laugh!

Maybe a big ol' German shepard or something of the sorts would do the job.

Other than that why not hook up a bit of electricity onto your door handle/padlock? Connect a few wires and send the shits up them! (And if they got a pacemaker all the better )

We had a electric fence for the horses which gave an almighty whack and leant itself to our stable gate. Great thing was it pulsed on and off so if someone brushed it they might not get a shock and therefore try and climb

Shot gun alarm will scare the pants off them... though they may die of a heart attack, and find the thief lying dead in your garden in the morning. Not too expensive aswell

I say the shotgun trap is the best, but if they have a bit of balls and stay for a split second they'll know it was fake. That should wake you up though...

Cheers

stinkwheel Well I just had my hands up a pigs fanny. Which makes your concerns pale into insignificance.

Shotguns alarms looks like a good do, but what are the legalities involving these? im guessing they may cause harm (to hearing?) which = booby trap, but surely a very loud alarm could be classed as the same?

Used to have a piece of wood with 6inch nails sticking out of it on the floor just inside the door, that accidentally fell over in the shed every night. If nobody knew it was there and stepped on it while entering the shed it would be painful.

Wouldn't do it now as I would probably forget it was there in my old age.
