    Many years ago, in Brownsville a retired lady had amassed a significant collection of Bonsai trees, mostly her own creations. Sadly, they started disappearing at night to her great distress. So, with the help of some friends a single wire catenary wire was installed to hang some of her other plants in hanging baskets. The barbed wire just happened to be excellent for spacing the plants and prevent them from sliding along the wire. It also happened to run the entire perimeter of her Bonsai collection display area and was some 300mm inside her property. The rate of theft certainly slowed considerably, but the local Police were none too happy about the "man trap" and ordered its removal. How they became aware of it is also a mystery. Presumably a visitor complained?
    next they will be saying to everyone, to stop your home invasions just leave your keys in your car and leave it unlocked so they don't invade your home to steal the keys for your car. damn government are too soft, give some punishment so there is actually deterrents to what they do.

    Yes, brown IS earth if you're working on certain European built cars. On the same cars the positive is often black just to confuse things a bit more

    It has already been suggested to leave your keys on the kitchen table so they don't hang around too long. The government is soft because too many parents are soft.
