security

[ramtops]

So perlmonger fitted the new security beam things yesterday, and then when I was in the bath I heard the warning chime go. I called him and got no reply, so I assumed it was him.

But when I went downstairs, they'd taken the laptops and the Wii and the remotes and the cameras and all the DVDs, I ran down the end of the garden and saw one of them running through the field, so I photographed her.

Then I went to find the village bobby* at Angela's house - they've moved to the other side of the road. They had no glass in their front door, and were having some sort of lunch party with the guests sat on rows of chairs like a lecture. David took me into the kitchen and told me not to make a fuss, and that the insurance would pay. The policewoman wasn't there.

* That's a giveaway, isn't it?

The beams are *inside* the house, so will only go off when someone crosses the threshold. And are about 4ft off the ground. They just give a little chime if someone goes through it.

I think I will get a camera soon, though, when cashflow permits. [insert rant about clients here]
