Grealish house raid

With all the hard men in this thread it’s a wonder any burglars ever live to tell the tale let alone get away with their ill gotten goods.
However the majority of burglars are just junkie lowlife cowards
That said I fully accept that the ones who have done this are more than likely we’ll organised and more ruthless and professional
I personally would make a judgement call with what I faced
But I’m experienced in certain areas
However property can be replaced

Do you have a very particular set of skills? Skills acquired over a very long career? Skills that make you a nightmare for people like them?
 
Rich man gets burgled and police investigate! Wow. Its be great if we all got police help. Cant say I have that much sympathy when rich people get the proper policing w all should get.

I hope no one was hurt.

You are not wrong (that we all deserve better policing). It reminds me of something i have posted here before.

I was working at Balotelli's (and the house next door) and accidently set off the alarm.
Within minutes, two police cars pulled outside.
Four officers for one alarm!

After showing some ID and explaining how i set off the alarm, they relaxed somewhat.

I told them i thought they didn't respond to alarms anymore.
They proceeded to say that "some" houses/owners are afforded "extra special treatment/privileges".

Pissed me right off. Especially as somebody who has been burgled and waited two days before any police bothered to show up!

I do but each to their own. You make your own decisions what’s right for me may not be for you or others
However I was initially pointing out the lawfulness not encouraging vigilante behaviour
If someone came into my house I would make a decision on a number of factors

I have no skills. I also have no valuables, and my car's worth about 2p.
 
If I was a Premier League player I would make it well known that I do not have expensive jewels, watches, artworks etc.
If anyone were to burgle the house they would maybe get some top end audio visual stuff and some nice clothes but that would be it - not worth the risk.
I have never really seen the point of "bling" - spend your money on something more sensible!
£1M of watches and jewellery. It could be as little as three or four Rolex watches and I think they have so much money they just get into the mindset of simply paying for anything that gets damaged or goes missing. If I bought a £300k watch or car I would never relax unless it was in a highly secure facility. It’s a different lifestyle I wouldn’t want that’s for sure. That £1M is comparable to £5k for someone on normal wages, pro-rata. Mad.
 
Probably pays a fortune for the shit security firm that had sold them a top of the range security package
 
Always thought if the object you used to defend your self was something you would legitimately have to hand ie a hammer if you were doing DIY, carpet knife if putting a new rug down you would have a reasonable defence wheras if you have a baseball bat next to the bed with no reason to be there it would be considered a trap. Same thing with beware of the dog signs by putting up a sign you accept you knew the risk

Maybe I should keep a hammer next to the bed instead of a bat then!? Just happened to be doing some late night diy officer, honest …

Surely having my bat couldn’t be considered a trap, it’s not like I’m encouraging anyone to break in.

You would think they'd be in a safe with a camera trained on the safe.

It likely means even less, as anyone on normal wages would be spending the majority on day to day living, and be budgeting for holidays/car etc.

Someone on top footballer wages can live where they want, buy the clothes they want, eat wherever they want, travel wherever they want, and the money is still likely to pile up. They spend money on expensive watches, and cars they won't drive, because there's not much else you can spend it on.
