Be careful when putting grippers on fences and gates etc. If Johnny their cuts his hands on them whilst trying to burgle you and can actually sue you for his injuries! If you place a notice on the public side warning of the danger they have no redress. This is why you no longer see barb wire on fencing. Any deterrent must be visible or notified (electric fences one example). The country has gone mad and favours the criminal rather then the potential victim, it's the PC brigade again! A mate of mine spreads filthy old tractor grease over the top of his fence, once you get that all over your hands and clothes you'd want to get away sharpish as you've left your fingerprints in the grease, perfect for the police 👌. Good news you are back in operation though Roy.

Does anyone remember the company that advertised in MCN in the 90's and who used to sell a tripwire linked to a shotgun cartridge! The trigger would hit the cartridge when the trip wire was moved by Johnny Burgler when attempting to break into your garage. Nasty shock for someone!Unfortunately you can no longer buy it!
If it can be fitted, then it can be removed very easy with a battery angle grinder. Easy way is don't leave tools in a van, if they are not there, then they can't be nicked. And a sticker saying: "No tools left in van over night" doesn't work
