STOP THIEF, STOP!

I have two recessed lights, one on each side of the street end of my car port.



There HAD been a 7 Watt (60 Watt equivalent) LED bulb in each.

Last night I noticed that the light was a bit dim, so I checked one of them this morning. It's now a 25 Watt incandescent (refrigerator) bulb. I checked the second one. Same thing.


MAGIC? No. Some scummy neighbor is taking expensive bulbs out and replacing them with bulbs from the Dollar Store (2 for $1.00).


My day/night vision camera will get here on Monday.

Sometime afterwards I'll replace the bulbs with some cheaper LED bulbs. After these are stolen, I hope to be calling the police.

Damn! What a sleaze! // I say, when you find out who it is, forget the police, take matters into your own hands.
Go Chuck Bronson on there azz!!

Set your bulbs so the thieff gets electrocuted at touching them!! (a Doberman might work better, but very very messy & bloody + EXPEN$iVE!)

How about this beauty, Jean

1. Make sure you capture this persons face nice and clearly on video.
2. Upload to youtube
3. Post a postcard with the youtube link to the video to everyone in you immediate and his neighbours.
4. Watch the removals van turn up a few days later.
5 Re-install your nice lights bulbs again.......

If I'm at home when they try it again, I could let the savage Shih Tzus out the door to rip them to bloody shreds.





As you can see, THIS one is the meanest!

I see what you mean

Its almost understandable in a way, with the present price of electric light bulbs.... ....

Domestic Filament light bulbs used to cost around 50-60 Pence each at one time....Now these new "energy efficient, environmental friendly" ones cost between £2 and £4.50+ each!

Domestic Filament bulbs have now been removed from the shops and replaced with expensive Fluorescent/Halogen bulbs.

Paul..."lighten our darkness..."....someone said.... ...!

Yesterday....my replacement for my 60 Pence, 100 Watt Filament bulb, cost me £2 for a 100 Watt Halogen bulb!

And if they brake, they release TOXiC GASES!! A real & deadly health hazard ...

Not this one, Jean, but i've had three of those in a row some years ago!
The downside is, they are only getting 7-8 years old (when trained)! That hurts every time you need to say goodbye so fast.
The upside is, they are the most reliable, child lowing and self thinking dogs, when treated well!!
I sure miss that companionship today.......

They still sell them in Poundland. 2 for £1.

Ta for the tip, Doug... ...!

Just bought one low energy 100 watt Quartz Halogen bulb from Sainsbury's...cost £2.....
I could have bought four 100 Watt Filament bulbs for that price from Poundland!
(The equivalent low energy 100 Watt Fluorescent bulb costs £4.50+!).

The only real advantage, the low energy bulbs last longer...(probably... ....).
