- This Electrician from Wolverhampton rigged his van with 1000v to stop tool thieves.
Previously he has had over £5000 worth of tools stolen so he took things into his own hands!

Props to him for controlling his anger enough to limit it to 1000v.
the higher the Volts The lower the Amps --way lower with the volts and they can call a burial event
The guy testing it in the end even did it for the lol. How bad can it be then?
@@leopoldpoppenberger8692 You need to go back to electrical school my friend. When the voltage is increased, the amps are increased, not lowered.
@@leopoldpoppenberger8692 shush

can't amps be raised anyway regardless of the voltage?
On a personal note people who get hurt when committing crimes while breaking into vans, car or homes should have ZERO rights to complain.
Criminals should lose all rights, human or otherwise.
I wanted to steal his stuff but I ripped my jeans on his fence! I'm taking him to court.
Bloke took my hamburger from a table in Burger King while I was at the toilet. Chopped his head off and killed his family. Now *I'm* the guilty one. Crazy world.
That’s not how democrats think though. The criminal is the victim in their minds.
I agree. Unfortunately anyone can sue anybody for anything. Criminals have sued for injuring themselves while committing crimes. very sad.
Stealing is wrong, but stealing tools off a tradesman is extra scummy because you are taking away his or hers means to put food on their table.
What's even worse than that is working to prevent someone from protecting their livelihood.
Our "Government" has failed us. Where is the outrage? Even people who think it does not affect them, are paying higher prices for trades people to do work for them!
@@Jay.Kellett it's because everyone wants to blame everything on the president when they should be looking at thier city and local government. Having these different levels of government is fundamental to our system, yet most people don't vote in these elections. They would rather use disfunction as fodder to try to get thier guy in the Whitehouse when in reality who ever is in the whitehouse has very little impact on people's lives in the short term.
We are just as much to blame as our government for buying into this red vs blue crap and generally being apathetic to our local elections that matter the most. We also have started voting based on our emotions and not a logical analysis of candidates platforms which has in turn, turned campaigns and debates into reality TV and not the serious matter it should be.
I was also an Electrical Contractor and a victim of tool theft many times over the years. It was sickening to think you had worked hard all week, knowing all that you had earnt was now having to be spent on buying replacements.
Something I've always wanted to do! It's not like you're being a vigilante, you're protecting what's yours!
then they sue you which is easier than stealing
@@user-ik4br3nk2w - Make sure to roll the bodies over the hill in the morning LOL. OOps... LOL Someone fell down and went boom.
So the cops are more concerned about an honest citizen taking matters into his own hands than they are about the same honest citizen having his livelihood ruined. Typical
They don't like being made to look bad. Nor do they care to do the extra work that cleaning this up would require. Honest homeowners are low-hanging fruit and the authorities always prefer them to tackling real crime.
In the states its been ruled federally that the police are not here to protect you and do not have a duty to do so.
@@jr540123 Good. People here need to learn how to rely on themselves and their neighbors for help / protection. As it should be.
There are lots of comments here over the past year saying things to this effect. All of them are unjustified. In fact, we *do not know what the Commissioner wanted*, because (according to M. Taylor xyrself in a comment at watch?v=KDlXyQI1qlk&lc=Ugyyp20-D5bzrIFL-2x4AaABAg.9IP26bVzLxe9IsEAqn4e3D ) the then Commissioner never arranged that meeting. Given that the West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner is an elected office and not a policeman, and that back in 2019 the election was scheduled for 2020, I suspect that a politician was thinking of trying to look tough on crime by association for an election campaign rather than that a policeman was trying to stop M. Taylor. We also know from watch?v=KDlXyQI1qlk that M. Taylor turned this shock system into a business back in 2020. The PCC election was deferred from 2020 to 2021 because of COVID-19 (www.wolverhampton.gov.uk/your-council/elections-and-voting/police-and-crime-commissioner-2021-election).

Police don’t show up when he calls to report the robberies, but they show up when he installs something to protect his tools.
boobytraps are illegal though.
@@RyukyuStyle So is robbery. Did you miss the whole story? It's so sad that cops are so much more willing to punish citizens they know are good intended and who they failed than criminals who continously harm the citizens they are sworn to protect. This kind of hypocrisy is exactly why people resort to these extreme measures to begin with. Damned if you do damned if you don't.
@@pluna3382 Can't just let anyone place booby traps. You can't excuse it with the police not doing their job well or not having enough manpower, what will the excuse be when an innocent person gets injured? Usually the police will warn good intended citizens before charging them with anything but you can't forget the cops are only enforcing the law, and every law has a reason for being.
Truth.
I reckon it's some dirty cops doing the stealing
A lot of tools have been handed down from parent to child, too. That value alone is priceless.
Yes
I have my late Father’s hammer and ask him for his help with my task. When I’ve finished, I thank him for his help. Just seems right.
Fair play to this guy. He deserves support as he’s a voice representing the frustrations of millions in the U.K. right now.
the elite's game is to wipe out the middle class. eliminating rule of law is one of their tools.
There was a guy phoned the police saying someone was in his house stealing. They said there was no response available. He phoned again 60 seconds later, telling them not to rush, he had shot the guy. They were there in three minutes. They accused him of lying about the shooting. He said 'yes, but you were lying about not being able to respond'.
Love It. Hope its true story.
If you cant figure out the difference between breaking into a vehicle and murder you're insane and need to be in a secure facility.
@@jimmyc00l One should learn to read before saying someone else has a mental problem. Where did vehicle come into it. Read again, and delete your stupid comment. When people break into houses and other people know they are there, it can often lead to murder.
@Rayza Neil because they know a) who did it, b) he is the property owner.
@@jimmyc00l The difference is that the 'murder' (you do not know the armed status of the perp) is not urgent- the actor is known. A burglary in progress is. Congratulations on being able to diagnose criminal insanity on the basis of a repeat of a cultural meme. Many would call this an over-reaction, but I am sure you mean well.
More strange is continuing to store tools in a van that had repeatedly been stolen from.
Anyone who steals a tradesmans tools is the lowest of the low. You’re taking his livelihood away without his tools he can’t work. No work no money. No money no food for his family.
The problem is the trademan that buy the nicked tools in the pub.
@@westie0113uk Correct, for every honest tradesman there's about 5 that are dodgy cowboys.
I witnessed a scene in a Glasgow pub were a junkie looking lad came in selling some Makita gear, couple of guys were straight over interested until one realised it was his brothers gear (so he said) and went mental trying to grab it, couple of other guys stopped him saying he had no proof the lad had stolen it and he was no better because he was willing to buy another guys probably stolen gear, so gave the junkie looking lad a head start.
Lot of side taking in the pub that night but in my opinion those guys were right, just suspecting it was his brothers wasn't proof and up till that point he was willing to buy what was most likely stolen gear.
That is what insurance is for. And what STINKING neighborhood do you dorks live in? where are the night cops keeping vandals and thieves off the streets?
Gary Kindt yes but you still have to pay. The excess fee on insurance. And night cops you don’t see them during the day so nighttime forget it
Anyone who steals is low. Why only stealing from tradesman? You spend your money on something, that was your time, your life force you spent to purchase that - only to get stolen.
Many years ago my friend, a shop owner, had so many robberies he resorted to a similar strategy. Robbers would come in from from the attic crawl spaces like rats so he had a gauntlet of energized wire, then razor wire, then there was a final ledge that he placed razor blades in a blind spot that had to be grabbed by hands. Eventually the rats figured out the first two obstacles, but the razor blades seemed to be the one that got them every time and they never got past. It was satisfying for him to show me the blood dripping down from the ceiling. I have to admit that it did bring a smile to my face too. Kudos to this man for protecting his van.
Good for him!
This guy is awesome. I just had a expensive mountain bike stolen. A buddy of mine, years ago had stereos stolen out of his car. When he replaced the stereo, he rigged it, so that thieves would have to reach under the dash to remove the equalizer, and the main unit. He wired a ton of fish hooks around the entire equalizer. Genius. The next time the thieves came around, you guessed it, the thief was caught, lying outside his car door screaming cause he couldn't get his hand free. Simple lesson, DON'T STEAL!!!
Food for thought . . . (& I'm hungry)
Giving a thief a thousand volts to help him, or her, to find another career is a generous donation.
👍
It's not the VOLTS that kill, YES they'd give them a big shock, but wouldn't kill them unless they already had a previous condition. It's the AMPERAGE that would kill. That's why farmers have electric fences, no one has yet been killed by them, so there's no reason why one couldn't attach similar to your car ensuring it's ISOLATED from all other electricals.
Heck yea!
its a lot kinder than a bullet!
🤣🤣
Anybody else here that was hoping to see a criminal get electrocuted?
Yup!
Yep

That's the only reason I clicked!

When I was a?kid my parents had a farm and we had bulk fuel tanks and the one that had gasoline was always getting broken into..so one morning when my dad realized the lock had ben cut again , he drained what was left and put 10 gals of water in the tank..the next morning there was a car sittin a 1/4 mile down the road with two guys in it .my dad asked if they needed help and they said they didnt know why it wouldnt start cuz they Just put gas in it..my dad said water in the fuel but next time bullet in your brain and drove off..we never had fuel stolen again that I know of..lol
Sugar alone will destroy engines but for added damage, mothballs will boost the octane and burn up the engine fast.
Brilliant.
@@timrockman7 Try crawling into the storage tank and cleaning that out. That's only for targetting someones ride.
When I was a kid we had a water shortage that led to a laundry pile up. My father hired a private tanker to deliver water to our home, so we washed mountains of clothes and in the evening we put them in on lines in the long wrap around colonial style corridors in the house. In the night, a chap cut through the wire mesh, bent the window bars and began to hook the clothes out into a bag held by his pal. My father got up, watched them for a while and shot one of them in the heel. He let the other escape, he was in the armed forces and could have sent them to eternity if he wanted. Turned out it was the chaps who had delivered water earlier on. No one dared to mess around with our property ever again😂
Hmm, yes these guys just sat in their car right next to the supposed crime scene till morning? Didn't try to go find a phone box to get a friend to tow them away. Didn't start walking back towards town/try and hitch a ride and come back for it later. No, just sat there until morning shaking their heads so your dad could conveniently find them and mutter a badass line at them. Sure Bro, sure.
Good on ya mate. The cops don't care about your tools getting stolen. But are more worried about you taking precautions to stop these scumbags. Shock em till they stop.
Any tradesman will know exactly what he means by - "took 15 years to get his bits together" - if you dont know you dont know the real value of what he lost.
Yeah I got my van broke in and mostly they just took power tools
So replaced and updated
It's all the hand tools and bits that are more expensive to buy and harder to replace
@@simonpapworth9314 Lets say they were cheap, you know full well you aint going to be able to get every nut bolt bit every different size back. itz like stacking all the hay one by one each straw of particular different sizes for 15years and have it stolen and then having to find all of them tools and bits one by one - like a needle in a haystack. and i bet, like no other tradesman you aint gunna have a list of all of them your going to have to go to work and then whilst out on a job find out your missing xyz and then having to leave the job get the tools - time money and effort
the joy you have after collecting all those tools over 15years😊, but you still wonder you dont have enough tools, your alwayz missing smething even if you got large massive boxes full of them in your van, your still missing smething😂if you know you know
En'R Vidz - Exclusive & Rare Videos absolutely, it's the vintage hand tools that I have I'd really hate to lose, couldn't find most again and they are so much better and sturdier. Everything is plastic now and have additions that get in the way. Like my maples bevel, need a flat head to tighten/untighten so never does a silly wing nut get in the way. But you find these tools over many many years so yeah, would literally be heartbreaking. My babies!!
it’s the dedication that went in that tool bag, it’s does something to you when you lose that.
Anyone who would steal a person's tools is a low life period.

@@noclu4u384 yea i agree with you
People do not fear the law or even going to hell anymore.
In my hometown, I knew a plumber who got in an accident in his van and got pinned by the steering wheel. some evil slob stopped and took all his tools with this guy pinned and left him there.
@@vocalpatriot Thats very Sad, did he live?
I live in relatively quiet South Australia, that said I'd never leave my tools in the truck. It's a hassle lugging them in and out everyday, but thats nowhere near the hassle of losing your stuff.
As he said about the toolbox, it does take awhile to build it up to what you need, also I've got tools in mine that were my fathers who passed decades ago, so it has extra meaning
This man should seriously consider bringing his 1000 volts alarm trap to the United States; and market his invention to owners of vehicles who are scared of thieves stealing the converters from under the vehicles; and stealing other valuables.
They won't allow it in the U.S. I added an electric fence around the top of our existing 6' wood fence to help keep our dogs in the yard and 10 days later I was told I had to either post warning signs(English & Spanish) plus I had to have liability insurance or take the fence down. I took it down and left it on the doorsteps of city hall. I can't even imagine all the hoops they'd make you jump through to electrify a car.
@@ironjaw6752 Code Enforcement is an illegal monster, we have allowed to grow.
Criminals have more rights in the US then the victims. I thought of lining my car with C4, for the event of car theft, but with criminals rights, that wouldn’t fly.
We have boobytrap laws in the US that wouldn't allow it. If it malfunctioned and hurt or killed someone that wasn't breaking into your vehicle, then you could be held liable. I am not saying that I agree with the letter of the law, but I do agree with the spirt of this law. In circumstances where you are setting a shotgun up to fire at anyone that opens a door (what the law was written for) I completely agree. You probably shouldn't do that. However, in cases where nonlethal traps would cause someone to think twice about their actions and most likely run away, I honestly don't have an issue with. I would install this on my car even though vehicle burglaries aren't really an issue where I live. It'd be funny just watching people that I know get zapped by my car.
@@jonkilowatt4442 Everything about this comment is wrong! The US houses more people in jails and prisons than any country in the world. Nice talking points though. Your talent of parroting RW news is on point! This guy is the reason we have these boobytrap laws. Blowing up a vehicle indiscriminately in the middle of... wherever is always a good idea, right? The scary part for me, as an American, good ol' Jonny boy is probably a gun owner. And with a temperament like that it's not going to take much to set him off.
This is why there is a problem in the world today, the law protects criminals more than good, honest, and hard working citizens.
thats literally how the American law system works everyone is innocent until proven guilty
@@huseyinozer8470 - and that's a good thing. Otherwise the government could just put you in jail on made-up charges and keep you there as long as they liked.

This man is a hero all vans should be fitted with this if your not a thief you won’t have to worry
The police paying him a visit, not for his stolen tools but to ensure the welfare of the thieves. Sounds about right.
How did the cops even find out? The thief call 911 (or whatever it is over there) and say “hi yeah I was trying to break into this guys van to steal some tools and I got shocked by the door handle. I think the guy booby trapped his van so I can’t steal his tools. That’s not fair for me so he should take it off so I can steal his tools”

Or paramedics trying to get to you in a car crash, and the contraption goes haywire......
Paramedic: , "ahhhh F it, I don't get paid enough for this sh1t"
Ronald D paramedics wont come into it because the alarm won’t be set if the vehicle is in use to the only time it is a danger is when it is stationary and locked, I do understand about 5 yr olds, and maybe it should be on a timer or warning ⚠️ that in 10 seconds it will release a charge and that gives whoever it is enough time to decide if they really are stupid
As a tradesman I applaud you and wish that there was a triple thumbs up button because you deserve it.
I know how he feels. As a landowner in rural south Australia, I was sick of constant trespassing shooters driving onto my land away from my house. Put up signs. Patrolled regularly. But, it wasn't any use. Put up a camera. Identified one "visitor". Police told them to stop but didn't charge them. So.......I got my angle grinder and welder fired up, and scattered a few sharp objects on the track. Eventually caught the culprits redhanded, and was surprised to find out it was my neighbours (among others) poaching feral goats. They complained to police about their tyres being ruined. Local cop said he was on his day off, and told them to piss off. Word got around, and my problem has disappeared. No signs. No cameras. Not even a closed gate. And, NO tresspassers either!
When you decide to take something that don't belong to you, you put yourself in danger. Don't blame the person protecting their property that he /she has worked hard for.
Exactly.

Don't forget that the thieving scum have people advocating for them. Drug or alcohol abuse is now a disease and you mustn't hold those suffering accountable for their actions. Every day on social media I see theft victims admonished for their feelings about the thieving scum who stole the tools of their livelihood. Authorities don't see protecting the tools that provide for your livelihood as protecting your own person.
When there is very little risk the reward is much more tempting.

Years ago when CB radios were the "hot" items, my sister's CB was stolen from her car; the thieves simply grabbed it and wrenched it from under the dash while the car was at Woodfield Shopping Mall in Schaumburg, IL. The police were useless at that time too. So I installed a new radio under the dash for her, this time screwing razor blades into the sides of the radio near the back. Three weeks later she came out to find "DNA" samples all over the front carpet in blood, as the guy had severed his fingertips when he grabbed the new radio and tried to twist it off the mounts. Look for a guy missing at least two fingertips on his left hand, and one tip from his right hand. But the radio remained in place!
This brought back memories of my east coast home town and surrounding areas -- In the '50s, Mercury Turnpike Cruiser skirts were the rage for customizing your Ford or Mercury. I had them on a lowered 1956 red and cream Fairlane 500 Crown Victoria and (naturally) had, according to the DMV, illegal mufflers - dual glass packs. But these cruiser skirts were beautiful! Alas, some members of Midnight Auto Parts tried to remove them and met with severely sliced and lacerated fingers thanks to a ring of hidden Schick Injector razorblades that some friends and I tack welded on the inside of the fender skirts. No DNA at the time, but bandaged fingers sufficed to identify the suspeced thieves. Back then, teen-age peer justice was a bitch.
Fantastic! Lol

I read an article in a British motorcycle magazine where some motorcycle owners who were sick of all the bike thefts took matters into their own hands. They parked a motorcycle somewhere and then sat and watched from a van. When someone tried to steal it, they rolled up and dragged him into the van and drove off. They beat him severely, including repeated strikes to his hands with hammers to permanently render them useless. They told him to tell his thief buddies that they will never know which bike is being watched and which one isn’t and if they don’t want what happened to you to happen to them, they better find a different line of work.
Give the thief a choice - hands or eyes.
I saw two youths (African or Jamaican its hard to tell at night) trying the doors on my Van, instead of shouting from a window I went downstairs and got a hold of Charlie (ALSATION) Charlie ran out as soon as I opened the front door and said hello to Winston Andeeki and Montgomery Koboogo. They must have been happy to see Charlie as I heard quite the commotion. I will miss my two unemployed, hopeless, thick as shit visitors because it has been a year now and they have never returned. So Mr Andeeki and Mr Koboogo I hope you were able to replace those designer trackies you were wearing because I gather Charlie really made quite a mess of you both !

I know how this guy feels. When I was young I'd finally saved enough to buy myself decent hand tools and a tool box. Over about five years I'd developed a nice assortment of peripheral tools as this man described having in his bag, when the tool box was stolen out of my van. I had to list everything I could remember for the insurance company and have a written affidavit from someone that could speak for my character. Though the insurance paid for my loss it was an awful bother shopping for the same things I'd had and it was impossible to replace custom tools that I'd hand made, and vintage tools that I was gifted from older guys in my field. It's been over thirty years and my replacement tool box has never been the same. One of the worst thefts is that of a man's work tools.
One of the worst thefts is when your so called workmates ‘borrow’ your Tools and don’t return them.
Sick that the innocent must get people to speak for their characters yet most cases for thieves it is oh shame. No it should be they get harsh punishment
Did you all get that? Cops don’t come out when his belongings are stolen but do when the criminals get shocked. That’s F#%ked up.
Because the guy who was shocked was police officer
Of course, the inverse logic always works, especially in the society of "eat or be eaten".
Happens here in the US too... If the dolar amount stolen isn't big enough then they will not investigate. If your car get broken into the police aren't going to do shit unless it falls in their lap.
Sadly that's now UK law, the justice system needs to change, sentences doubled, life to mean life, all child perverts and rapists, should be immediately castrated for the benefit of others safety, possibly capital punishment returned on those with unreasonable dought on certain crimes, I'd put this country right mark my words.
Boris Johnson is stealing my tools
There's a special place in Hell for tool thieves.
Love this idea!! Good for you man, stand your ground regardless!
According to my father, magistrates in the 1950's would give much stiffer sentences to people convicted of stealing tools, because they were not just taking away property, they were taking away a man's ability to feed his family.. Simple as that.

I have always worked at least two jobs. At times I had three jobs. It is honorable and instills a strength and pride that is impossible to explain. I recently retired from 50+ yrs with one company. I continue to create jewelry, repurpose furniture (to sell or gift or use for myself), paint the interior of my home, work with concrete, etc. Once you stop it becomes difficult to get up and start again. 70 feels good.
makes sense of course it wouldnt apply today as common sense has left society
@@galady8632 It's well documented that a lot of the bigger corporations - if they learn that you're taking multiple jobs (or have returned to school), they will screw with your schedule to make it far more difficult (even try to force students to drop out). I would also add that learning to be a nice, compliant slave and taking pride from that is the act of a fool. Everyone deserves a decent wage and decent living... think about what you just said. You work three jobs, what time do you have to have your own life? You're just existing to work!
I put a couple of rabbit traps in my van, set them and covered them with a rag, then put a nice pair of pliers on top. Couple days later, blood everywhere, pliers dropped on ground, tools still in van. Never a problem since.
Did you get an arrest from that blood evidence?
I would delete this comment. In case things go sideways. You are incriminating yourself potentially.

Love this guy! The authoritarian government should thank this guy! They don’t need to waste valuable resources to protect his stuff! But we all know the police think more highly of the crooks right to steal than the tax paying citizens right to protect themselves and their belongings!!
This guy is doing what is necessary. Way to go!!!
Steeling tools from a tradesmen deserves every thousand volts he gets. Disgusting.
Victim: Help police! I need help!
Cops: No

british police in a nutshell tbh.
Not really
In this hellhole (central Florida), when you report a theft (out of a locked vehicle or whatever), the pigs tell you "That's what insurance is for" and they refuse to help. (That is, unless you're rich and live in one of 'those' places, then they go over backwards to solve the crime and get your stuff back.) You have someone hacking into your internet (via the cable connection at that) and taking it over (for whatever reason), and you report that - their response is "unless you can prove that they're breaking the law like downloading kiddie porn, there is nothing we can do!" (QUOTE) and when a hacker takes over your elderly folks computer and extorts a lot of money out of them, again "There is nothing we can do!!!". Yet if you call them because it looks like a firework factory or market exploding down the road... what do they do? They come to your house and ream you out for 'bothering them' (the pig finally admitted he could hear the explosions - which cracked two of our windows - more than a mile and a half away, inside his cruiser with the windows closed and AC on)!
Three out of four times we've been stopped were for bogus reasons - a "broken tail-light" that wasn't, having an "illegal scanner" (licensed two-way radio), and so on (they even admitted to profiling us with the "broken tail light" stop and dropped the fines). The other legitimate times - were for things like forgetting to renew the registration before the deadline, and things like that (and not often, even though we have always battled poverty here).
Yet we're supposed to respect and trust and especially OBEY the pigs. Nope, never going to happen unless I can see a good reason for it - and trying to keep us from being a witness to police brutality and abuse of power is not a good reason.
Exactly why I said not really to the previous twat, British police have their problems but nothing on that scale. The bloke before probably calls them ‘pigs’ because he’s still bitter about getting collared for robbing a packet of crisps when he was 14 sad fuck.
@@RedHeart64 As someone from Bartow I can 100% back that up, police are crooked as fuck. I'm a felon so can't even own a firearm to protect myself or my property. I've been robbed of tools a few times nothing too serious but it still sucks when they say "oh well". I had cops enter my house without a search warrant and took an ounce of pot and then left, they're just criminals with a fucking badge, gun and unlimited backup.
Never steal from a working man !! Bravo sir
Anyone who dislikes this clip is probably someone who steals tools.
Or a copper.

..FACTS ALL FACTS..!!
When I was a kid, I had a friend that had started a auto and equipment repair business. Someone broke into his garage and stole the few tools he had at that time. He put a big sign on the garage door stating that any attempt to break in would result in severe electrical shock. He had a neon sign transformer hooked to all the door hardware and window frame (which was steel) that put out 20,000 volts. He heated the garage with fuel oil, and had the tank grounded to prevent electrical shocks from starting a fire. The window was above the tank. One morning there was a big imprint in the snow where someone had crawled up onto the tank and touched the window trying to break in. The shock had knocked him off the tank and back into the snow. No further attempts were made to enter the building.
woodsie5474 the only issue with that is the likes of a fireman attending a fire on the premises, but otherwise great stuff. If there was a YT channel devoted to thieves writhing in pain I would subscribe.
@@g0fvt The first thing that fire departments do when getting to a fire is shut off gas and electric utilities. So I think that would keep them from danger. An alarm that sends you a signal when the power goes out would notify you of any service interruption.
@@woodsie5474, I have known booby traps to catch the wrong people, on many premises the isolator is within the property. I don't know what the standard fire brigade practices are here, but I do understand your post.

As a mechanic i have had my tools stolen twice. Its a horrible feeling to come into work and see that!! I agree on the police not doing anything. They dont even show up for theft anymore. You file a report on line. Last time i made a police officer come down and see me in person. He straight up said, you are never getting your tools back and even if we found and arrested the person. The judge would let him off to continue being a thief!!
So sorry for all guys in this situation… such a totally shit thing to do, stealing a man’s tools. If they get shocked - too bad - no sympathy for the thieves.
It's his van parked on his property, yet the police intend to tell him what he can and can't do to it? Here's a thought, don't want to get electrocuted don't break in to people's property. Simple.

@@chowderthechowchow6919 Sorry for being that guy, but its the current that kills you. And given the car isn't connected to the house mains, you dont have any current supply at those voltages. Given the battery powering it has to be stepped up significantly to get to 1000 volts. And noone has ever died of having electricity enter and exit the same hand, its only a danger when it enters the heart or any other vital bodypart on the way out of your body.
Good for you mate. A very reasonable man.
Ingenious. You should have the right to protect your vehicle in anyway you feel fit when parked on private land. Kudos 👏
Guy goes to work everyday like a real man to earn a living. Accumulated the tools of his craft just to have some bum steal them. It’s despicable it really is.
Should whack that current up and give potential thieves a real shock.
Hope hi had insurance
Go to where they pawn the tools also.
The so-called "police" need to pay the man if they won't protect his property. They are too busy out collecting revenue instead of doing their duty they swore an oath to.
EXACTLY!!!
They are not "PROTECTING AND SERVING", cops have become tax men with guns!!!!!
@@deansheley2489 many, many people I have met and talked to are tired of this abusive and predatory system. People are afraid of their governments that are supposed to serve them. People in America should feel safe and happy to have a cop driving behind them. Instead they think "oh crap, there's a guy with a gun behind me who is going to delay me and intimidate me and take my money. This is the truth. Maybe it is in many places but I know for sure it's here in America.
They don't persue "property crimes" just things offenses that people with regular incomes can pay in instalments.

20 yrs ago, before the tweaker apocalypse,
their mainstay occupation was speed traps.
But since the advent of cell phones (responding to rear end collisions)
and the new abundance of crystal meth(responding to smash n grabs)
and more recently BLM(need I provide specifics?), they have been a little too preoccupied to sit in a little roadside cubby with their moneymaker in hand.
Their is a blessing in every curse
@Sean Fisher the point is that vandals would be discouraged from stealing if they knew the police were patroling and looking out for folks' property. But they know the cops don't really care and they'd rather be collecting revenue for non-crimes than honoring their oathes. So the peace officers are nowhere to be found. Except busting people for "speeding" and hanging out at the convenience store...
As a fellow tradesman it sickens me to the core!! My home has been broken into on numerous occasions, my whole toolbag stolen several times, plus goods amounting to over 60k!! Police not interested!! I told the police that they were wasters. I believe in the old eye for eye tactic, use whatever force to deter these crimes!! Good luck mate!!😊
Sounds like the company I work for go to work and borrow tools 😂 stay strong my friends ❤
Ànyone that would stop you from protecting your property they're scum too .
According to the gooberment, peaceful people should be incarcerated and the criminals are the real peaceful people who deserve to take whatever they feel like. Going to church is evil. Burning down a church is good. Destroying property helps stop contagions and praising God spreads it, apparently.

When I were a kid growing in a really rough part of Eastern Kentucky we had these low life neighbors right next to us who would sneak at night and steal our firewood and in the winter that we busted our ass chopping up to heat and cook with. We never could catch em so our Grandpa took a hand brace and drilled a big hole in a piece of wood and put a shotgun shell in it and packed bark over it. He show us the piece and said do not touch this piece of wood. A couple of nights later we were about to hit the hay when we heard this muffled bang and we all ran to the window and saw sparks flying out of their chimney and we all laughed like hell and never missed anymore. It helped to that the next day our pappy told theirs that the next one would be in their ass.
Very efficient method. We also tried it with our neighbours several decades ago
Hahaha that's a classic 😁💪🏼👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Even as an apprentice back in 77 i was approached and asked if i wanted any "knocked off" tools and when told to "f**k off" the person approached me was mystified why everyone they had approached said the same.

If this man is stopped from protecting his tools then we should get together and fight against this nonsense. Good luck mate.
Take the warning sticker off, raise the voltage then set up a camera. When they get what they deserve post the footage online. Make money off UA-cam. Sell your tools and retire

It'd have to be a fellow tradesman who I can verify is going out of business or upgrading... because this is trash for people to steal a working man's tools....
I install the alarm systems myself with enhancements. I install one alarm horn in the dash so that it blasts the ear drums of those trying to break the ignition switch and another under the hood. I do not rely on or use factory systems as they are too easy to defeat. My Jeep has a Sentry Key fob but I still have an alarm system with an interior radar system that chirps whenever the Jeep is approached. The hood is padlocked down with my own system and I have a under hood switch to kill all power to the starter. I add air horns to the alarm systems that will wake the dead and me at night; the sounds are unique to my vehicles so I know which vehicle is being messed with. My Isuzu Trooper has a fused MSD ignition system and fuse removal will totally disable the ignition. Trick: install a switch up side down where down is ON and up is OFF so that is the last switch to be checked by a thief.
A friend of mine kept having his van broken into so he got a bunch of photo-flash capacitors and connected them to two foil strips glued onto the rear of the steering wheel. Every night he would re-attach the crocodile clips and re-charge the caps.

It was hard for me to approach and console him the next morning. He has no plans of wrenching no more.
With you all the way mate 👍
A man who farmed in a far off land said " if I die my family mourns. If my ox dies, my family starves." Tools in capable hands feed families and give dignity to those who work.
Stealing somebody’s tools is indeed the lowest form of theft. Taking away somebody’s means to make a living is just the lowest kind of stealing. When and if the so called police in his area ever decide to actually do their job and catch these scum bags, the fact that they’re knowingly stealing tools should factor into the severity of their punishment.
My father-in-law used to do that. Thieves get one hell of a surprise! LOL
Bloody brilliant!
neighbour caught a hood burglaring his house, kicked the shit out of him........that night, knock at door, peelers...."report of an incident here earlier today sir........person assaulted" " No constable, I've been here all day with the missus, nothing like that happened here"
Peeler clapped him on shoulder, and said "Right answer, sir, sorry to have bothered you "
That's policing.
Boy, I didn't understand a word you just said
timber mighty translation
The. Police were called by the thief that burgled his house because the homeowner had taken his own form of vigilante justice on him, the officer responding to the assault charge had to respond to the assault charge by visiting the homeowner, and his wife but that is all he did, he visited the homeowner and his wife basically just going through the motions, finally leaving with a wink, meaning the officer thought the burglar got what he deserved .a good beating. Burglars in the uk , even when caught red handed just walk away with community service or probation
Be aware: they will steal your tools, then come a month later and steal the NEW tools. I've heard of a guy having his tools vandalized in his workshop only to have the new ones stolen once the insurance had paid out. Clever these scumbags!!!

@@badlarry172 Ooooh. Thank you good sir
My old man got his tools nicked from his van, some of the tools were specialist tools that he had owned for 20 plus years and could no longer be bought in shops, they were almost like old friends to him. I always remember the look on his face when he came in the door and said someone had nicked his tools. Just like this guy in this video is saying, sometimes old tools are practically irreplaceable. I remember my old man saying he could lose his job because he had lost his tools, fortunately he had a lot of mates who lent their tools to him until he could get by with new tools. I would cut thieves hands off. I really would.
You would love it over here in the Occupied North of Ireland as they get Shot and you know what the War was like over here friend and if you are a Loyalist the Cop's would turn their backs while they get Shot as they are Pro-British and we are not but don't take that the wrong way as we just want our Country back! I know the look on your Father's face sad to say but once they have be found out they get Shot in different ways, a Bullet through each hand upto a Bullet in the back (spine) as that gives them a 50/50 meaning you were going to be paralysed or dead and the Cop's don't care about hard working men as the Cop's here are used to informer's instead of doing real Police work! If the Copper's make remove the deterrents on this man's van then they better start proper Police work friend as they sell Drug's over here now instead of stealing as there is less risk believe it or not!
Cut their hands off and they're probably able to claim disability. Cut their heads off and problem solved.
Love this! Good 4 him...
From Canada it is good to hear stories like this. I’m not sure you would be able to hoy wire the door here. But, I would sure like to do it. Here they would take the whole van not just the tools inside.
Had my van done four times. Once outside my house with a Police Sargent living next door.
He told me off the record that I would never see my tools again, the police just don't have the manpower to deal with van thefts. We are on our own guys.
He also told me that there are firms that do this, they will hit a town and then move on to the next town. All they do is trademen's vans. It is massive criminal business.
Your tools will be shipped out to eastern Europe to be sold.
Be very careful if you work away from home too. Hotel car parks are a real target. Holiday Inn at Heathrow is being hit all the time, the Hotel aren't interested in helping.
Well done to this Electrician. It shouldn't have come to this but we are on our own now. No police to help us so just electrocute them. If 25% of the trades vans in the country had this system, the problem would just go away.
@RESIST What do you mean?
@RESIST How would that cut the crime rate of vans being broken into? I have in mind a Hungarian friend who works towards helping white working class people to access university education in the UK, would she still be accepted in your idea of cultural nationalism?
All is lost. The era of the tradesman being free folk is gone. All belongings shipped away to foreign lands, never to be seen again.
We can’t get them back we can’t do anything about it.
The problem wouldn’t go away if 25% of the vans had this system. The thieves will just get clever / more desperate with new techniques.
