TCM\'s briliant new dinghy security system FREE (trials in progress)

I have developed a superb new security system for boating equipment, and so far it is working brilliantly.

It is ever so cheap (free, actualy) and I can't really understand why nobody else has tried it.

What you do it write "FU CK OFF - do not nick this!" on whatever it is that is most likely to get nicked, and sure enough, it doesn't get nicked. So far I have coded the dinghy, ever so quick and all you need is a pen.

This system works on all but the most hardened criminal, even on those who have lousy english. It atacks the brain functions, i think, i spect some people wil need to do some research at the University of the Bleedin Obvious, and of course, like all briliant ideas it's blingingly simple once you have heard or seen it.

Sure, if lots of people write filthy discouraging messages on their dinghies etc then you/I will have to get more of the same and write upgrade the system by adding "Or I will kick your Fuckinghead in!".

One additional thing is if there were saytwo dinghies, one with current message on and another with enhanced message i admit the former most likely to be nicked. Or actually, perhaps the thief would be double scared and imagine that a ghastly gang was gonna blow his head off just for piching a dinghy.

So in conclusion, i can't see anything wrong with this, provided you are fine about riding round in a dinghy with swear words written on it. Swmbo didn't seem too overly concerned, but then the recent banger was graffiti'd with CU NT on the boot, and she seemed ok about being driven around in that so it's simply the old story about being familiar with things, in her case being married to a suspected idiot/genius. And as i said to her, we never wrote this sort stuff on the fence or the house, and THATS why we got burgled twice!

You could do this on anything i supoose, handbags (for women) and cricket bats for blokes, cars as above above for either. Actualy, it could be that swmbo's will be bettr at installing the system and think of devices such as "If YOU Steal this i will personally come round and rip your cock off and no nice sharp knife like that Bobbit" which makes me wince just thinking of it. Perfect.

Now, if you don't fancy this, praps you might at least STOP buying mats that say "welcome" on them or suchlick which gives the clear impression to the casal burglar that yiou are a soft get, and hence an easy target. Much better getting a mat saying some appalling filth, which would again make the burglar move elsewhere.

Errrm, me thinks that in some anchorages on this side of the Atlantic the TCM BSS could turn out to be an open invitation to the die hard dyslexics.... after all, who could resist a challenge like that?
When the slightly more literate hoodie tells his dyslexic hoodie mate that this English bloke is inviting him to come and have a go in his nice RIB 'yeah Mon, dat is wat he does be sayin' on de side a da boaht Mon', how can the DH resist such temptation?

No worries Mon, he will rapidly learn to resist when connection with an irate Yorkshireman's winch handle teaches him what dyslexia is really about......

(Always good to have back up in the form of a wire cable and lock as well. Or hide a wire cable in the lay of the painter rope, and lock the painter on to the dock, and be amused by people's reactions..... )

Wont it become a designer dinghy for dyslexics?
 
Re: TCM\'s briliant new dinghy security system FREE (trials in progress

I bought a flight-case of video lights from a charming old rogue who had recently retired from making porn vids. The ali flight case is marked in huge indelible letters 'STOLEN FROM (Pornvid company name) - Tel 020 XXXX XXXX'

Now, I haven't the slightest problem carrying this about, partly from the hope that some nubile young lovely might mistake me for the old boy's enterprise and offer to undergo a screen test, but I suspect it might deter a thief who was stealing to sell-on - a buyer might just call to check, or even plod's suspicions may be raised by a stubbly crack-addict carrying a set of cased video lights marked 'STOLEN FROM...'

Could work.

I remember going to a a very dodgy tyre replacement centre.

They had a sign up saying 'We always prosecute thieves'. Then it said...

'After they come out of hospital'..............

Occurs to me that goods could be labelled 'Stolen from i.e Slasher Sid , I always inflict pain etc etc

Might also find that people will not raft up against you or invite you for High Tea.

A former colleague had a good story about getting fed up with the car radio being stolen repeatedly. Eventually he just left the wires hanging out and a notice saying "Radio already stolen". He came back one day to find the familiar smashed window and a note saying "Just checking."
 
Re: TCM\'s briliant new dinghy security system FREE (trials in progress

I used to have a little sticker on one of my bikes, saying,

"WARNING - This motorcycle is protected by extreme violence"

Didn't work tho, it was still nicked. After bike number four went missing I gave up bikes! (figures someone was trying to tell me something!)
 
Note the detail

Yes, you and others above have tried similar. BUT the essential is the filthy swear words which trigger a recoil - what the hel sort of maniac would actually write the swear words, hm? The swear words are a VITAL element, not an option. Like here yiou can say what you like but not F UCK - it's an important line to cross, confronting the potential offender.

I borrowed a mobile phone from the rather big gruff indiginous bloke down the road in the days when they were quite expensive and desirable items. Indelibly and all-too-believably handwritten on the reverse in quite large letters was the note:

CAUTION: This phone has been up my a**e

Put me off using it let alone stealing it.
 
Re: TCM\'s briliant new dinghy security system FREE (trials in progress

I've always quite fancied a boat with the germanic-sounding name 'Stollenfrom'. Written on the transom with the port of registry underneath.
 
Re: TCM\'s briliant new dinghy security system FREE (trials in progress

It reminds me of the days when we could afford a relatively expensive car! Returned home one evening to find pride-and-joy XR2 (how sad was that!) propped up on bricks and two alloy wheels stolen. Looking for replacements, enquired at local breakers yard - "Yes, we have a set of those - ordered for some one who just cancelled". Stroke of luck, or beyond coincidence?
 
Re: TCM\'s briliant new dinghy security system FREE (trials in progress

I was told of an old pub regular who was paranoid about anyone drinking his beer when he went off to the lavatory. An invitation to "Watch my beer, will you, lads?" inevitably led to the lads tipping an inch out when he was away. So he started covering the glass with a beermat on which he'd written "I've spat in this beer"

Until one of the lads appended "So have I" when he was out.

I think you may have purloined this idea from the artist who decorated your rally car with street-art.

I take no-one has attempted to steal the C**t Car then? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
 
Re: TCM\'s briliant new dinghy security system FREE (trials in progress)

Not sure it would work up here in Scotland - there is no word you can think of that is not part of the neds general background noise and as such is not likely to register.
In fact "Do not f'kin nick this ya c'nt or Ah'll rip yer baws aff an' stick 'em up yer 'rse!" (though it might have to be painted in a continuous line round the tender) is more like a challenge than an imperative, and likely to result in troops of weasely little bams with bricks and knives waiting to meet you to find out why you don't think they can take the boat.

A similar story was the chap who would take his false teeth out and drop them in his beer before he went away - until he came back and found three other sets in there too. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Re: TCM\'s briliant new dinghy security system FREE (trials in progress

Earlier this year, my old grp tender died with too many splits in her bottom to repair any more. This left me with the 'what do I do with this heap of crap now' question. IDEA! - felt-tipped on transom, 'FREE DINGHY - HELP YOURSELF' and left it on the hard. Went for a pub lunch and on return it was gone. Magic.
 
Re: TCM\'s briliant new dinghy security system FREE (trials in progress

Actually this reminds me of the Derren Brown "trick" where he put a wallet with loadsa money in it on the ground in the middle of London and very deliberately chalked a circle round it and walked away.
Came back and it was still there - looks like the chalk circle made it appear too risky to nick.
What we need is a a big stick of chalk!
