Not quite. Rigging up traps that mame or kill should be illegal. This is just barbaric. Unless you can prove to me it kills every time without fail and it kills fast enough so no suffering. Even then, eh... Systems that shock, as long as the current is a safe amount, should be legal. It will wake you up, hurt like hell, but ultimately not do any lasting damage unless you have medical conditions. That said, my grandpa always says "you're life must not be worth the 17 cents it costs me to reload". And this, depending on the state, is totally legal.

So proud that he just didn't take it...he took matters into his own hands and helping many others at the same time. More people should be proactive about protecting yourself and your livelihood.
Probably uses farm electric fence system, totally legal to install that anywhere provided there are sufficient warning signs. If anything, his signs are a bit small and not specific enough. Easy fixed.
Hi Ray, I'm a tradesman here in Canada and I know how you feel. These scum bags who go around stealing stuff deserve to be punished for the harm they are causing honest working people. It drives you mad.
When I was burgled and guns were stolen, the police never entered them into the computer. When we caught 2 kids and called the police, telling them we were holding the thieves at gunpoint, they arrived before we could get off the phone. Gotta protect the city's preciousss little thieves.
Have a mate who spent a couple of years in Saudi Arabia. He said he was surprised at the number of people with only one hand but never saw anyone with no hands.
get a few capacitors, store juice in them from alternator. use capacitors for the shock charge...yes it might kill them...but either way, they won`t steal from you again.
It is static electricity, it won't electrocute them. It is the same type of electricity used in millions of agricultural electric fences all over the world. When you get into the higher voltages like automotive SPARK PLUG voltage (not to mention lightning) it can definitely kill.
What’s sad is that most vans are too easy to break into in the first place. Love what Ray has done, but when you spend £20-30k manufacturers should be more accountable
My husband and some of his buddies were in our detached garage, big door open, having a visit, on a beautiful summer's eve, when I noticed a van drive by, slowly, and I saw the driver looking into his sideview mirror to case our garage. He noticed that I had him in my sight, so he took off. I should have gotten his plate number. The next morning he broke into our garage, the guy was massive (6.5" +/-). He tossed, full to the brim, large tool boxes into his van like they were empty. We traced our tools (a rare one) being sold on those online sites, from 100s of miles away.
@Inthe Flow You recommended the most expensive tube-fed semiautomatic shotgun and the least reliable mag fed semiauto shotgun. A person with actual experience would recommend an affordable, reliable pump action - you recommended your favorite call of duty loadouts.
My dad connected 20KV to his tractor to stop the petrol thieves. Found the fuel cap on the ground one day but no fuel missing. You can do the same today by connecting a stock fencer to your vehicle body. The tires insulate it from the ground.
Great job Ray 👍🏻 As a tradesman myself I know how important tools are to a working man.... My sparky mate has wired his garden water sprays to PIR so anyone triggers the sensor gets wet through 😂👍🏻
I stopped one. Brke into van stole sat nav tools batteries etc. All caught on the dash cam . Posted on local FB page where he was named within a few hours. Caught up with him at the local chemist queuing for his methadone. .
Ooooh yes you can. And you may also correct his lack of education. Only a matter of persuation from his new friends, for his own good. When properly identified, even the dumbest gets the idea, loud and clear...
You can. When someone chooses to put himself or herself above and ahead of my family, my wife and children by STEALING what amounts to food from their mouths, my response will always be this: kill them. If YOU CHOOSE to be a threat to my wife and children, then I will do everything in my power, aided by ten years of military airborne training and service, and 7 years of LEO training and experience, to put a stop to your threat. And let’s face it, my primary training always comes to the front in this type of situation. Your life is in your hands.....
Should be standard on all vehicles, shock these buggers. If every vehicle will hurt them rather than an option as that might be noticible as opposed to non option and so they know which have and dont have.
LOL, I researched for an article on a similar subject some years ago; apparently, manufacturers (back in the 1980's/90's allowed £5.00 for car security! LOL
Stingray...FREAKING AWESOME! Is the advanced model called the DEATHRAY? Can you add a camera so when it is activated you get the scumbag's picture and be able to give it to the police or even to the tradesmen so they can be on the lookout for these evil people?
Ray, you are an absolute legend and a genius! I've got a few of the product details and there are dozens of blokes, all pals of mine, all tradesmen, who I'll be notifying about this product.
Well no but I'd like to see some cam footage of them getting the shit shocked out of them lmao. It's funny watching the guys test it out like a bunch of kids around an electric fence lol
Now that's an idea. wire in a tiny Wi-Fi micro camera on the inside facing outwards at eye level and have a raspberry pi configured to automatically send any motion captured images or start recording the second the door handle is pulled. That way not only will they get stung by the stingray, but also stung by the police when there is photographic evidence.
This happens because the police are to busy writing tickets instead of trying to stop thieves, they know that the tradesmen will have to buy new tools so it’s good for the economy right? Lol this makes me so mad when cops don’t even try to make a difference, we have been broken into 4 times in the last year and the police didn’t even come out, they just said come down to the station and fill out a report, and then they asked if we knew who was doing it, to which I said if I did I’d shoot the prick myself and save taxpayers dollars, but that’s not legal I guess 🤣
@Captain Insano Shows no mercy in our case we got a great clear shot of the guy and girls face, because they kicked the door into the office and the cops still didn’t do anything, but when the same couple broke into the work site where my brother works and the alarm went off the cops said don’t try to stop, because they might be dangerous, and it took the cops 3 hours to get there and it’s only 45 minute drive from the station, to me it seems like they wanted to make sure the thieves had enough time to get away.
@@rob3326 that’s a big part of the problem yes, here I believe it has a lot to do with the money that the police make off of traffic fines, it makes more financial sense to right more tickets than it does to stop thefts.
Hell I wish the cops around here would write more traffic tickets. It would put a dent in the retaliations (road rage). You can always post these clear pictures publicly, with a description of their actions. No one can stop you, it’s not slander or libel if it is factual. If you do that though, be prepared to lay in wait. They will come back for revenge for outing them to teach you a lesson. Shoot them up with an automatic paintball gun. Non-lethal defense of a felony in progress. Or, just wait for them to come back if they felt it was an easy score they will return. Kill em when they break in. Self defense and defense of your home is legal. End of problem.
I'm a electrician in the US we have had to install security alarms on all our trucks.The law here will bring charges against anyone putting a shock device on anything home included.
Love this get it up. I have had my tools stolen twice. Once the thieves had cut a hole through the side of my trailer. I lost about 25k in tools. Police said they could do nothing about it. Wouldn’t finger print or investigate. Best they could do is for me to go look in local pawn shops. I engrave my tools for insurance purposes. So I might be able identify my tools. Police were no help. Second time was in a box store parking lot. Cart boy would call his buddies that were staged in another parking lot. They would come and blitzkreig the trucks and trailers of builders. Take what they could in mere moments and leave. Store said they were not responsible for the parking lot. Eventually I had to go to the other stores and ask for surveillance camera to see if they could spot anything. They did thankfully. Then my insurance said they wouldn’t pay because it was the store’s responsibility. Long story short. I would love to shock the crap out of anyone who tries to take my tools again. Great job Ray!!
As long as it is designed and intended to be non-lethal, clearly posted (which it is), and it will not harm innocent people, then how can they object?? If you added a chemical dispenser to it, especially inside a locked and alarmed door, that would be perfectly legal and acceptable as well. Me personally I believe that all tool thieves should be hung. Simple as that. If you choose to take away a person’s ability to provide themselves and their family a living, you are threatening their lives. Self defense doctrine. If you make the choice, you better know what the consequences are and can be.......... steal from me at your own peril. For those who say this is too harsh or draconian, you would do well to understand that people only obey laws because the punishments are deemed not worth the risks. The veneer of “civilization” is very thin indeed, and it is not voluntary at all.
Here stateside, we do something similar. Instead of electricity, we rig it up with a double barrel 12g shotgun. Decreases the chance the offender will try it again at a later date.
Claymore mines work better. Worked great on a Ford van in LA back in 1974. 4 minced meat bodies. 5 minutes to swap back the original doors. It never happened again!!!
I finally bought a Chainsaw that would start when I wanted it to start. I heat my cabin with wood and usually cut it myself. I'd used the saw a few times with few hours on it. Someone came on my property and stole it out of my tool shed. I don't have the money to buy another saw but I was given one that needs adjusting and it wears me out trying to start the thing. In twenty four years living out here no one has ever stolen anything from me. I guess the shiny new tool was to much for the thief.
@David Boland I kind of suspect the county road workers stole it. They were working in front of my place. Then just north of me there are cranksters speeding around.
@@viperdemonz-jenkins It's a low thing to do to someone. I don't understand the mind of a thief. I don't have spare change lying around the house either and I depend on cutting my own firewood for the winter.
For years i had no door at all on my shed- it swelled with water damage and since my Dad originally built it it was not standard. 6 weeks ago i had a new door rigged up- it is actually a piece of fence that anyone could pull a slat from but it was the correct size. Last week someone went into the shed and stole my grill. A 20 year old cast iron bucket on a stand to put charcoal in, not even a propane tank. I really think it was my neighbors and that the "new door" made them think there must be something worth stealing. I wish i had never tried to improve the property- but the City decided a door was paramount.
Well done Ray, perhaps you can incorporate a system where it sprays the cretins with permanent paint that cannot be washed off. Perhaps aim the spray can towards their face and it would slow their get away down. Ha! Ha!
We had this in South Africa years ago. The two main drawbacks is that passengers would sometimes get hold of the door handles before it was deactivated and the handles would fizz and short out when it rained.
This man is great! I hope this stops ppl from being able to steal his tools and that his alarm business catches on and really takes off for him. Maybe he will be able to retire! God is good!I will be praying for you!
My late father rigged up a similar thing on his shed which he used a line output transformer from the old CRT type TV's. That took care of a few scrotes in it's time!.
I recently patented the installation of claymore mines into the van headrest supported by 4 fifty pound phosphorus flares in the side panels pointing towards one other. The device is called Shaken' Bacon.
In my garage, my bike is chained you the floor with a ground anchor, nearby is my old angle grinder with a cutting wheel in place. Plug it in and cut but the body of the grinder is live, all earth wires removed. I'm not liable for someone using a faulty tool, it's their problem. It's 240volts none of this 110 volts stuff.
Some years ago a burglar was forcing the door of an old shop here and ‘managed’ to get the crowbar into the electric fuse box which shocked him so much he’s dead. The coroner accepted the police account of how it happened. Even more years ago in Liverpool a Somalian shopkeeper who was fed up of the break ins sat behind the door with a First World War handgun and let next burglar have it. As the scumbag was heard to shout, ‘kill the black b’ he was clearly in fear for his life and only convicted of possessing an unlicensed weapon.

@@onepup-pr3yl pretty much the same here in Canada. Google the Dave King aquittal for an example of a complete failure of the Canadian justice system.

They charged the paramedics who responded and were told by police that he had not been shot. They will probably get convicted.

Fine chance! Too busy handing out crime numbers and watching the clock go around until shift-end. Not necessarily their fault though, under funding has caused much of this......
I watched your original video then deleted my remarks because I let my temper get the best of me. I sincerely hope you have gotten the problem under control and best wishes to you.
Stealing a man's tools is akin to stealing a man's tools back in the Wild West days in America! There was no lower than a horse thief. It was survival to have a horse.
the rpoblem is, if a thief gets shocked, he'll just come back with a can of petrol and burn the van out of spite. Better to try and house the van indoors,behind decent doors.
Agree - the return of the thief and his mates is a real risk. Also chucking petrol on your house. I never store tools in my vehicle. It’s a pain, but a lot safer.
Honestly, if you're out looking for specifically tools it's because of the details of the operation. It's easy and hard to track, is what it looks like to me. Is it possible that they might come back and fuck with your house, other possessions? Yeah. But chances are, no. They would be trying to steal the entire truck, etc in that case. In fact they'd probably be breaking into your house as well, in the first place.

So proud that he just didn't take it...he took matters into his own hands and helping many others at the same time. More people should be proactive about protecting yourself and your livelihood.
so he was not stopped from shocking the crap out of the idiots nice.
I'm amazed.
@@CrazedFandango Me too. The town didnt side with the criminals.
As long as there are warning signs, he can't be stopped.
Probably uses farm electric fence system, totally legal to install that anywhere provided there are sufficient warning signs. If anything, his signs are a bit small and not specific enough. Easy fixed.
He was not stopped, because he doesn't live in america. Wish they would let us do it here........and SOLVE the problem.
Hi Ray,
I'm a tradesman here in Canada and I know how you feel. These scum bags who go around stealing stuff deserve to be punished for the harm they are causing honest working people. It drives you mad.
thanks dan
@@r.ttaylor698 thanks Taylor
I think there should be a simple rule of thumb when it comes to any of these thieves, “you violate my rights, you forfeit your own”!
When I was burgled and guns were stolen, the police never entered them into the computer.
When we caught 2 kids and called the police, telling them we were holding the thieves at gunpoint, they arrived before we could get off the phone. Gotta protect the city's preciousss little thieves.
You should have said "You managed to shoot them" and when the police arrive show them the photos you took.
Do you expect the same response to an active risk to life as you do to a theft? What an idiot.
Liar

Good for you Ray. Thieves in other parts of the world have hands cut off. Harsh yes but I understand.
In China you get executed for robbery or assault. Very safe country, very, very little crime.
In Saudi Arabia, if you rob from a shop and have evidence to confirm it, you will have your hands chipped off.
@@Chainyanker007 China, safe? You ever been?
Have a mate who spent a couple of years in Saudi Arabia. He said he was surprised at the number of people with only one hand but never saw anyone with no hands.
get a few capacitors, store juice in them from alternator. use capacitors for the shock charge...yes it might kill them...but either way, they won`t steal from you again.
Stingray advanced model
The deathray
If it kills them, they wont be stealing from anyone else either sounds like good problem solving to me !!
It is static electricity, it won't electrocute them. It is the same type of electricity used in millions of agricultural electric fences all over the world. When you get into the higher voltages like automotive SPARK PLUG voltage (not to mention lightning) it can definitely kill.

I wanted to know what the police commissioner said when they "came for a visit."
he never showed up, it has been over a year
They couldn't ring the doorbell, well would you 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
They knew that if they turned up at Ray's, they'd get the shock of their lives and bottled it! :)
What’s sad is that most vans are too easy to break into in the first place. Love what Ray has done, but when you spend £20-30k manufacturers should be more accountable
My husband and some of his buddies were in our detached garage, big door open, having a visit, on a beautiful summer's eve, when I noticed a van drive by, slowly, and I saw the driver looking into his sideview mirror to case our garage. He noticed that I had him in my sight, so he took off. I should have gotten his plate number. The next morning he broke into our garage, the guy was massive (6.5" +/-). He tossed, full to the brim, large tool boxes into his van like they were empty. We traced our tools (a rare one) being sold on those online sites, from 100s of miles away.
That is so painful.
@Inthe Flow Benelli or Saiga, eh? I'd bet money your only experience with shotguns is in video games.
@Inthe Flow You recommended the most expensive tube-fed semiautomatic shotgun and the least reliable mag fed semiauto shotgun. A person with actual experience would recommend an affordable, reliable pump action - you recommended your favorite call of duty loadouts.
@Inthe Flow Rem870 is cheaper, and just racking it makes a pretty fair point/
Cool story sis.....and then everybody clapped
can you build one that traps the thief inside, shoot him with crossbows, then catapult the corpse a 100 feet away?
Sounds like a job for Colin Furze.
Yeah course no worries will do
I want that.
Noooo you can't do that. You have to completely dispose of a corspe
@Troy Erkenbeck that's just to burn hair and teeth
My dad connected 20KV to his tractor to stop the petrol thieves. Found the fuel cap on the ground one day but no fuel missing. You can do the same today by connecting a stock fencer to your vehicle body. The tires insulate it from the ground.
Great job Ray 👍🏻
As a tradesman myself I know how important tools are to a working man....
My sparky mate has wired his garden water sprays to PIR so anyone triggers the sensor gets wet through 😂👍🏻
You will never stop a thief, but if you can delay them as much as possible like this clever chap has, you stand a chance of protecting your tools.
I stopped one. Brke into van stole sat nav tools batteries etc. All caught on the dash cam . Posted on local FB page where he was named within a few hours.
Caught up with him at the local chemist queuing for his methadone.

Ooooh yes you can. And you may also correct his lack of education. Only a matter of persuation from his new friends, for his own good.
When properly identified, even the dumbest gets the idea, loud and clear...
@@Terry-Tibbs Did he survived... ?
You can. When someone chooses to put himself or herself above and ahead of my family, my wife and children by STEALING what amounts to food from their mouths, my response will always be this: kill them. If YOU CHOOSE to be a threat to my wife and children, then I will do everything in my power, aided by ten years of military airborne training and service, and 7 years of LEO training and experience, to put a stop to your threat. And let’s face it, my primary training always comes to the front in this type of situation. Your life is in your hands.....

The saviour of the modern tradesman... What an absolute legend, any tradesman (man in a van or not) needs to buy this fine gent a pint if they see him
I done this years ago.. wired my shed lock to a electric fence controller cos I was sick of scum trying to steel my bike
Brilliant device! Manufacturers should offer this as an option on ALL vehicles! :)
Mostly for Hondas
Should be standard on all vehicles, shock these buggers. If every vehicle will hurt them rather than an option as that might be noticible as opposed to non option and so they know which have and dont have.
LOL, I researched for an article on a similar subject some years ago; apparently, manufacturers (back in the 1980's/90's allowed £5.00 for car security! LOL
I really hope people support this man's company and he becomes successful enough to make a good living.
Ray: People were stealing me tools so I electrified my van.

Stingray...FREAKING AWESOME! Is the advanced model called the DEATHRAY? Can you add a camera so when it is activated you get the scumbag's picture and be able to give it to the police or even to the tradesmen so they can be on the lookout for these evil people?
The advanced version would be to hook it up to a submarine battery and just find corpses in the morning
@@Freedomcustom whats a submarine battery?
@@dw4940 A battery used in submarines generally used for emergency back up
Bloody good on ya, its about time someone stood up to minimize these parasites. I'd love to see a video of it actually working on a thief 🤟
Ray, you are an absolute legend and a genius! I've got a few of the product details and there are dozens of blokes, all pals of mine, all tradesmen, who I'll be notifying about this product.
Call me when he invents the “off with their head” version. This isn’t enough for criminals
There should be a trap door that falls into an industrial meat grinder. It notifies you when its full so you can go to the hog farm.
This is just the prototype for the MagnaVolt system from Robocop 2...
Well no but I'd like to see some cam footage of them getting the shit shocked out of them lmao. It's funny watching the guys test it out like a bunch of kids around an electric fence lol
The guy should’ve started backing his van into his driveway and then watch all the electrifying excitement!!!!!!
You know the YT video is a good one when the comments are spicy and well written.
Would love to see a hidden camera showing this alarm in action and watching the thief get the shock of his life (pun intended!).
Now that's an idea. wire in a tiny Wi-Fi micro camera on the inside facing outwards at eye level and have a raspberry pi configured to automatically send any motion captured images or start recording the second the door handle is pulled. That way not only will they get stung by the stingray, but also stung by the police when there is photographic evidence.
This happens because the police are to busy writing tickets instead of trying to stop thieves, they know that the tradesmen will have to buy new tools so it’s good for the economy right? Lol this makes me so mad when cops don’t even try to make a difference, we have been broken into 4 times in the last year and the police didn’t even come out, they just said come down to the station and fill out a report, and then they asked if we knew who was doing it, to which I said if I did I’d shoot the prick myself and save taxpayers dollars, but that’s not legal I guess 🤣
@Captain Insano Shows no mercy in our case we got a great clear shot of the guy and girls face, because they kicked the door into the office and the cops still didn’t do anything, but when the same couple broke into the work site where my brother works and the alarm went off the cops said don’t try to stop, because they might be dangerous, and it took the cops 3 hours to get there and it’s only 45 minute drive from the station, to me it seems like they wanted to make sure the thieves had enough time to get away.
The problem is the courts don't give any serious consequences. They get 30 days or probation.
@@rob3326 that’s a big part of the problem yes, here I believe it has a lot to do with the money that the police make off of traffic fines, it makes more financial sense to right more tickets than it does to stop thefts.
Hell I wish the cops around here would write more traffic tickets. It would put a dent in the retaliations (road rage). You can always post these clear pictures publicly, with a description of their actions. No one can stop you, it’s not slander or libel if it is factual. If you do that though, be prepared to lay in wait. They will come back for revenge for outing them to teach you a lesson. Shoot them up with an automatic paintball gun. Non-lethal defense of a felony in progress.
Or, just wait for them to come back if they felt it was an easy score they will return. Kill em when they break in. Self defense and defense of your home is legal. End of problem.
Busy catching people posting "online hate" and TomRob!
Need a solenoid clamp that pins the hand... maybe some pointy bits... haha
A higher voltage would do the same thing.
Use AC voltage and it causes the muscles in the hand to contract so they can't let go until the alarm is switched off.
Mans a hero to all us hard working people, especially us electricians! Love this guy! Great work!
I'm a 30 year old man and my heart breaks every time someone steals another's tools .

I literally could not understand a word that second dude said 😂

Incredibly thick accent. I didn’t understand anything either.
Love this get it up. I have had my tools stolen twice. Once the thieves had cut a hole through the side of my trailer. I lost about 25k in tools. Police said they could do nothing about it. Wouldn’t finger print or investigate. Best they could do is for me to go look in local pawn shops. I engrave my tools for insurance purposes. So I might be able identify my tools. Police were no help. Second time was in a box store parking lot. Cart boy would call his buddies that were staged in another parking lot. They would come and blitzkreig the trucks and trailers of builders. Take what they could in mere moments and leave. Store said they were not responsible for the parking lot. Eventually I had to go to the other stores and ask for surveillance camera to see if they could spot anything. They did thankfully. Then my insurance said they wouldn’t pay because it was the store’s responsibility. Long story short. I would love to shock the crap out of anyone who tries to take my tools again. Great job Ray!!
Excellent this means the cops were good with the system. I just saw the previous video and was wondering if they approved it.
As long as it is designed and intended to be non-lethal, clearly posted (which it is), and it will not harm innocent people, then how can they object?? If you added a chemical dispenser to it, especially inside a locked and alarmed door, that would be perfectly legal and acceptable as well.
Me personally I believe that all tool thieves should be hung. Simple as that. If you choose to take away a person’s ability to provide themselves and their family a living, you are threatening their lives. Self defense doctrine. If you make the choice, you better know what the consequences are and can be.......... steal from me at your own peril. For those who say this is too harsh or draconian, you would do well to understand that people only obey laws because the punishments are deemed not worth the risks. The veneer of “civilization” is very thin indeed, and it is not voluntary at all.
Here stateside, we do something similar. Instead of electricity, we rig it up with a double barrel 12g shotgun.
Decreases the chance the offender will try it again at a later date.
Claymore mines work better. Worked great on a Ford van in LA back in 1974. 4 minced meat bodies. 5 minutes to swap back the original doors. It never happened again!!!
I finally bought a Chainsaw that would start when I wanted it to start. I heat my cabin with wood and usually cut it myself. I'd used the saw a few times with few hours on it. Someone came on my property and stole it out of my tool shed. I don't have the money to buy another saw but I was given one that needs adjusting and it wears me out trying to start the thing. In twenty four years living out here no one has ever stolen anything from me. I guess the shiny new tool was to much for the thief.
@David Boland I kind of suspect the county road workers stole it. They were working in front of my place. Then just north of me there are cranksters speeding around.
had the same thing happen to me. took me months to save up for it, and I cant afford a new one myself.
@@viperdemonz-jenkins It's a low thing to do to someone. I don't understand the mind of a thief. I don't have spare change lying around the house either and I depend on cutting my own firewood for the winter.
Take the pull cord assembly off and spin it with a socket attached to a drill (from a disabled guy that hates starting his chainsaw)
For years i had no door at all on my shed- it swelled with water damage and since my Dad originally built it it was not standard. 6 weeks ago i had a new door rigged up- it is actually a piece of fence that anyone could pull a slat from but it was the correct size. Last week someone went into the shed and stole my grill. A 20 year old cast iron bucket on a stand to put charcoal in, not even a propane tank. I really think it was my neighbors and that the "new door" made them think there must be something worth stealing. I wish i had never tried to improve the property- but the City decided a door was paramount.
Well done Ray, perhaps you can incorporate a system where it sprays the cretins with permanent paint that cannot be washed off. Perhaps aim the spray can towards their face and it would slow their get away down. Ha! Ha!
We had this in South Africa years ago. The two main drawbacks is that passengers would sometimes get hold of the door handles before it was deactivated and the handles would fizz and short out when it rained.
My late husband was a Self-Employed Plumber, with some health problems. His Van was broken into, so I know how angry it makes you feel. Well done.
My cousin, who is a carpenter got his tools and van nicked, he lost every thing.
If you don't touch the van you won't get a shock. Simple as. Good for you Ray. We need harsher punishments for thieves or anyone who breaks the law.
This man is great! I hope this stops ppl from being able to steal his tools and that his alarm business catches on and really takes off for him. Maybe he will be able to retire! God is good!I will be praying for you!

Some years ago a burglar was forcing the door of an old shop here and ‘managed’ to get the crowbar into the electric fuse box which shocked him so much he’s dead. The coroner accepted the police account of how it happened. Even more years ago in Liverpool a Somalian shopkeeper who was fed up of the break ins sat behind the door with a First World War handgun and let next burglar have it. As the scumbag was heard to shout, ‘kill the black b’ he was clearly in fear for his life and only convicted of possessing an unlicensed weapon.

I don't think 15yrs in jail for manslaughter is worth it, especially when your defense is the robber wanted your drill bits!

Well said!
Stealing a man's tools is akin to stealing a man's tools back in the Wild West days in America! There was no lower than a horse thief. It was survival to have a horse.
Great job Ray, you should do a D.C version then when the old bill come out they will still be there.
the rpoblem is, if a thief gets shocked, he'll just come back with a can of petrol and burn the van out of spite. Better to try and house the van indoors,behind decent doors.
Or increase the amperage and just find a good place to dispose of the bodies - society wins.
Agree - the return of the thief and his mates is a real risk. Also chucking petrol on your house. I never store tools in my vehicle. It’s a pain, but a lot safer.
This is why honest people need guns.
Honestly, if you're out looking for specifically tools it's because of the details of the operation. It's easy and hard to track, is what it looks like to me. Is it possible that they might come back and fuck with your house, other possessions? Yeah. But chances are, no. They would be trying to steal the entire truck, etc in that case. In fact they'd probably be breaking into your house as well, in the first place.
