One chap was stabbed to death,but Metla thought it was a bit over the top,Pre and I thought it appropriate.

807272 2009-09-07 07:04:00 Sadly, it is an inevitable consequence of letting the smurfs get their trotters on the baubles of office. Mark my word, there will be an outbreak of speeding next. What is the world coming to?

P.S. Did you guess that my letterbox is not the vandalised one?

807273 2009-09-07 07:41:00 Security is a relative concept. They are secure enough to stand up to most casual tampering, but won't resist serious abuse.

A good analogy is barrel locks (almost everybody's external house doors use these) - most people would consider them to be fairly secure, but they are trivially easy to pick. However they are enough to discourage a casual snooper.

Absolutely, but they are advertised as being very secure, and the security is used heavily in their advertising. You can certainly get far more secure letterboxes, such as those boxes that NZ post uses. I am sure that company would be interested, as there could be a design flaw that could be fixed to make it more secure.

LL :annoyed:

And what did you want - a ten year jail sentence?

807275 2009-09-07 07:43:00 And barrel locks are also advertised as very secure :rolleyes:.

Seriously, if you're at the point of things being ripped loose there's not a lot you can do short of building the whole thing out of steel.

But at least the murderer got off with a light sentence, thanks to Sensible Sentencing.

A serious penalty should be used for second offences.
