Re: I need help to set a booby trap please...

Hi Carol, there is some more information here regarding the gas supply network. The people that charge you aren't necessarily the same people that are responsible for the supply pipe, so it may well be worth getting more information from those people, particularly as your supply isn't secure at the moment? Nothing to lose by asking anyway perhaps ...

Re: I need help to set a booby trap please...

The only company who will move the meter is my local network distributer & they charge somewhere in the region of £1,000 to move it where it needs to be.

I've tried - I've given up. Just can't be bothered with it all.

I've now applied the sticky paint along with a warning.

I've got a smart meter so we don't have to open the door ever again.

Good for you Carol. You have tried everything to get help, and nobody will, so who could blame you for taking matters into your own hands? Bravo!

Did you think about getting the trail camera I suggested earlier? They are very cheap and you would have proof of their activities.

Re: I need help to set a booby trap please...

Hi Bruce, thanks for the suggestion but I'm really not all that bothered. I'm not interested in filming them, even if the camera is cheap.

I don't imagine they'll attempt anything now the sticky vandal paint is on.

Is it low down ,your meter and the sticky paint Carol. Also is it a long the track where the public walk?

You may have problems if it is, just read up about it online.

Carol ,if it is your neighbours, who have tampered with your gas box, they don’t need to touch it, they could use a crowbar on it, it may sound far fetched, but you will be surprised what some people will do if they have a vendetta against you....

I hope this won’t be the case.

Re: I need help to set a booby trap please...

Hi Pauline - yes it's low down but there's no reason for anybody to walk so close that they're touching the wall.

The thought has crossed my mind that a small child could touch it. We would have to deal with that situation if it happened.

Other than that I would imagine the warning sign would be enough to deter anybody.

Carol,I read online something about clothing, ..there was more to it,but didn’t read further, then it read that they could sue you.

Just be careful, as I would hate to see that sort of thing happen to you, ..
