Hi
I recently had 14 foot of copper pipe stolen it was 28mm gas supply after meter, running along car port wall and into my flat on second floor. It cost me £180 to get replaced they only took the pipe they could reach and the police say they will probably be back as they took a couple of neighbors too and you can see part of it from the street. The cheeky beggars stole it from under a security light and as a last resort I was thinking of wiring it to the live feed to the lamp so its live when the sensors triggered although there may be some legal issues here. Is there some sort of alarm thats triggered when the pipe is touched?
and ideas of a cheap way of securing would be great. I would probably have to get it boxed in eventually but can't afford it yet.
