OT: I just caught some punk

A company I did work for didn't have much money so they relied on subterfuge to keep thier store (not saying what kind) secured.

Basically they had an alarm on the door - that was connected to a broken down volkswagon car alarm in the back. They had a phone system that would default to radios incase power was cut or the phone lines damaged. They also had three 4000 pound safes - filled with molds of merchandise not actual merchandise. The molds were donated by the styrofoam company next door.

Then to top it off, none of the outer doors had security alarms. Only the inner doors which connected the vw bug out back I mentioned before.

i ran a business something like that but we actually had no alarms at all

however since we had neighberhood kids running around at night i staed late a few times and went out snd smoked a few cigs with them they wondered how i knew they were here i told em about the (fictious) webcam security system i had that kept uploading a 2hrs worth of pics to a web site and had a cellphone and internal powersuply so it can kee3p running for an hour after both landline and poweer loss plus with internal and hidden external cameras its like perfect to get pics of any malefgactors

the kids (15 or so )were duly interested (lots of probing questions) i even pointed out a box on the side of the warehouse as a camera point (just a standard elictrical box about 26 feet up in the air with a opening hole in the bottom) in 5 years of running my computer business there i never had any attempts yet the body shop that was there before and now around a corner had at least 2 atempts a month average

prevarication in the right ears is always more effecient than reality with no money

The problem today I think is that the courts are in the business of making money and that directly puts them in conclift with what they were design for; administering justice.

So it is more cost effective for a cop to sight someone with money for speeding then it is to bust a drug house where they will have to PAY to have it cleaned up.

If the courts are in the business of making a profit, then justice is no longer blind and it all comes down to the mighty buck.

How much justice are you willing to pay for. In this case none. It is not my job to bust the drug house, all I can do is keep reporting it, and do what I can within the law to protect my stuff from theft.

Today I put up four signs along the road, they all read; This property is monitored by survlance video.

I wonder if that will have an effect.

WEll, AT, I see it from the other angle. Most of our offenders violate because they either can't make their payments, or in some cases, refuse to make their payments. So the judges can impose all of the court payments and restitution payments they want to, but if the offender isn't paying, then no one is making money. And sometimes, the judge will dismiss the person's probation, while teh scumbag may still owe thousands of dollars yet! Sometimes they'll impose a lien, but not always. So it's not always a profit making business like you think it is.
