Re: Perth - full of thieves

So, there I was just taking the dog for a walk.... and I found this phone...Nearly as sweet as the time I found a purse in the school yard.

Re: Perth - full of thieves

I work in an office of about 30 people at UWA and every week between $10 and $20 goes missing from the Coke/chocolate "honesty" box.

It's not a big problem at all, house breaking here is easy as, most people leave their doors open and lock the fly screens only takes a few mins to empty the place, no problem

It's only a problem if there's a dog at home

Hopefully our Great Dane will put off the burglars. He's only 6 months old and already 30Kg with a really big bark.

You'll have no worries mate, mind the dog may cause more damage than being burgled, It'll be like having a small child again

He's not too bad, apart from he's got the runs really bad at the moment, there's shit everywhere in the yard.

Not changed his food recently, anyway' he's off to the vets this morning to get the stitches removed from his nutsack after his castration, poor bugger.

I wanted to get those "neuticles" http://www.neuticles.com/ inserted, for his self esteem, only I wanted to slip a third one in there.

Wouldn't that be the ultimate dog, a 70 kilo male great dane with 3 nuts?

If your colleagues are pinching your money every week why do you bother?

Exactly, it's the social club's money - I'm neither a member of the club not buy the coke or eat the choccies so I don't really care that much.

but those people that have been burgled as they sleep...

I just wonder why it crops up a lot. I know it's a problem in some parts of the UK - you can usually tell by all the razor wire everywhere.
