Nah it's the wrong way of thinking. Instead of rewarding them for doing the job they're already paid for. They should lose money for crimes unsolved. :Cigar:
Sadly we l live in a world where I have all my vehicles in a locked compound overnight protected by CCTV, night vision, infrared beams, alarms and trackers. My Ducati are never out of my sight when out n about. When I buy a new van the first thing I do is dead locks, trackers, alarms & internal microwave sensors, safes and DVR CCTV. Just to try and keep my tools \ stock safe and prevent Mr johnny fraud from claiming £6k in whiplash. Then I try to forget about it and enjoy life.
I agree 100% with Pete. It's a very, very bad idea. And just how hard do you think they would look for a £10K when there are multi-million pound frauds going on? That's where their attention would be. Besides which - it gives them an incentive to allow crime to happen, just so they have more stollen goods to recover...
Sadly, cctv/night vision still can see through a balaclava. IR is defeated by glass, alarms/trakkers can be found cut out on the floor where your van used to be once a filed down hacksaw blade has picked your locks. Sleep tight I'm a locksmith who's been asked to investigate some odd thefts in the past from locked premises and honestly, some thieves are so smart they're wasted being the scum that they are.
I was a director of a well respected international security manufacturer. I've seen criminal stuff that would baffle James Bonds boffins. Absail through roof 60'. Cut hole is plaster board ceiling. Drop down and drill alarm panel the three different sized drills, link out two sub circuits, while leaving main cpu and comms link in place. 100% expert knowledge, probably an inside man at manufacturer. Target 15 lorry loads of cigarettes. With security one does what one can...just make it easier to go next door.
Yeah, I can pick/defeat anything. It's only a matter of time. If you're in a rush to get in a 20 lever double bitted safe then maybe drilling is quickest. But that's only as I don't get too much practice on them. I knew a master safe cracker that could open anything in under 5 minutes. Needless to stay he spent some time in jail before putting this talent to a better use.
Better use! Surely crime had the biggest return on investment (his time). What did become ? A surgeon?
Well, if i could earn his minimum of £5k per hour instead of the £50 I charged this message would be coming from the Bahamas not Birmingham. Still, I haven't had to endure 10 odd years of being ass raped so maybe life ain't too bad. He became regarded one of the best safe crackers in the country. And when businesses are telling you they're losing £1M per hour through lost trading time you can name your price.
Would you care to apply for a job as a Policy Adviser to the Home Office? You'd fit right in. Goods can only be returned if they have been stolen in the first place. So let's give the police a personal financial incentive to make sure lots and lots of stuff gets stolen, so they can make a packet returning it. What could possibly go wrong?
Why not bung people for dobbing the arseholes in then? Give crimestoppers a call,give them your N.I number/PIN number and tell them so-and-so's punting a nicked whatever round the estate. The filth pop round his gaff,catch the felon bang to rights,and yer informant gets a reward based on the value of recovered goods and/or the cost of police time saved in investigating the theft. I reckon there'd be plenty who'd grass up their hooky neighbour for the price of a few White Lightnings or a bottle of Harveys Bristol Cream....
Ge me the interview, I'm there Pete. Change from within always better than pushing against the closed doors from outside
ACT - OK, very funny... Stolen stollen... And Pete - Seems you are the only one whoi can see the logical conclusion of this ridiculous idea...
