I've already got a 500W halogen with a PIR out there Welly, they might have avoided it down that end of the drive but they wouldn't have avoided next door's one, which conveniently picks up my gates too. The little shits are probably glad of a bit of light to see what they're nicking! :roll:

Might have to get one of those home CCTV systems :?

What's your electricity bill????

C'mon - why would anyone nick a Laguna splitter?

Oh, and I watched some traffic cop show on the delights of your sunny Welsh village - maybe that explains it :P

Low level night-time lighting is the answer , high up lamp, low energy bulb linked to daytine/night-time switch cos scroats dont like lit areas

any camera / lights wont stop the theifing fuckers. the camera will be useless at night. it may catch a figure doing the dirty but if it doesnt catch the face cleary the law cant do anything for you.
