The council would probably agree with you guys but I see their point too in not wanting to get sued. Especially in this economy we have right now.

If you read the story carefully, you'll notice that the liability issue with "thieves" is what the owner of the property said. Not necessarily what the city council said. I think it would be good to reserve judgement until we get all the information.
As far as land mines and alligators on your own property, I disagree. I would think killing some mischievous teenage boys with a land mine is something a civilized society shouldn't condone. Maybe it's just me.

The British have the Nanny State going in full force over there.
It's his property, city be damned. Barbed wire is a good deterrent. If the council doesn't like it, maybe they can donate a few of their security cameras. I'm sure they've got plenty to spare.

I'm certain the suggestion of landmines and gators was satirical. Though the prospect of a moat is kinda cool. Originally Posted by parsonsj

Thats just down the road from me, Yep we have now become a nanny state and compensation culture,cost me $20,000 to get rid of some tenants,could not cut off power or gas or water to make them leave so they just run up bills, the low lifes have more right than the victims.

It is impossible to argue with that statement. But we don't know that that has anything to do with the story in Britain.Anyone stupid enough to try and climb through or over a barbed wire fence to try and steal something from someone deserves to get hurt.
I can tell you that barbed wire fences in my neighborhood are prohibited. Who wants to live in a neighborhood with barbed wire fences? Not me.

I guess they can't have barbed wire around their prisons either. They might get hurt trying to escape.

Here you don't have a right to stay in a property you aren't paying for, and you certainly don't have a right to electricity and water while doing so.

I was not allowed to change locks or restrict there access to the property cause if they injured themselves I could be sued, This was the advice by my lawyer who was a property specalist.On the barbed wire thing what the police recomended is thorn bushes.

Well maybe he should just take down the barbed wire fence... and put up a 120,000 volt electrical one that looks perfectly safe to climb over. :D
