Slightly off subject but wait till you hear this one We worked in a church on the quays in Dublin they broke in the security man and dog locked themselves in the priests room at the back they took stuff that was lying around shouted at him they would be back .they came back about a week later security man legged it they told him if he went into the back room they would burn it down so they got into the back room cleared out two steel joboxs and when foreman and lads arrived next morning no security or dog around so he went to check the tools both joboxs were locked when he went in so he thought at least tools still there .opened first one no tools .opened second one no tools either only a german shepard shaking and whimpering the bastards opened both boxes took everything put the dog in it and cleared off , we still cant figure out how they managed to open the boxes and lock them again I'd say the dog is still in therapy

Did the 'security' man have a set of keys by any chance? Seems more like an 'inside' man to me.

No way did strangers get a German Shepherd guard dog into a box without help from its handler. Have you seen the ****ing teeth on those things?

He had no keys and the dog was locked into the box I found it hard to believe only we were working on the job at the time constantly watching your tools ironic part is the children's court is about 500 yards away as regards the teeth have a shepard out my back as we speak always had them so I understand what your saying

That photo looks like a Belgian shepard about a grand to buy trained like that

Could well be, it's just a stock photo that 10 seconds of googling for 'German shepherd teeth' threw up.

Best one I heard was a man with a 2CV van. They broke in to his house, threw a load of things in the van, demanded the keys and tied the man up in a sleeping bag.
But the van had a security feature the thieves couldn't get around: a manual choke. Also, the 2CV gearstick is slightly unusual.
After various starting and stalling attempts (the van owner was, meanwhile, killing himself laughing), all went quiet. The owner eventually broke free from his sleeping bag to find his van (and contents) still parked outside the house. The thieves were nowhere to be seen.

First van I had was a Renault 4 l van gears in centre of dashboard never got robbed lol a lot of people were terrified to drive them because of the gears they were the original column gears

 

[Ric2013]

Careful or I'll get offended Citroen 2VC launched in 1948. Renault 4 came out many years later. Assuming the gear change is similar? Slide in and out, neutral is halfway out and twist and slide for other gears? I'm not giving away the details here, though: you'll have to kill me first
Good to meet someone else who's had a real car though!

 

[Dkdc71]

Yeah the exact same gears Renault 4f6 van

 

[Dkdc71]

A bit of advice peeps.

The law says you are allowed to use reasonable force to defend yourself and that force must be proportionate. IF someone 'lunged' at you and you "feared for your life" then it is reasonable to stop them EVER being able to do that again...

Keep the statement simple. "Officer I was in fear of my life, he lunged at me" Nothing else otherwise you open the door... Let them prove otherwise.

God protect us from those who are supposed to protect us

 

[Dkdc71]

Over here you or your family has to be in danger before you can protect yourself o if your van is been robbed the law is ypu should let it as it can be replaced personally I think thats bullshit criminal has more protection then the owner the laws need to change
