Easy money with little chance of capture or appropriate punishment.

Used to do loads of Jewellery shops around Bradford, Huddersfield, Halifax etc. High targets for robbery due to the purity and ease of moving on. I also spent quite a lot of time on this site with the owner, Daniel who seemed very unassuming and a generally nice guy. They who used to smelt gold for people walking in off the street lol. https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/23174279.fowler-oldfield-james-stunt-trial-jury-consider-verdicts/

That the high value goods are mainly 22ct.

Shall we have a wager?

22ct gold jewellery would be my guess...

Didn't PJ connect his Alexa to his alarm or did I dream that? The numbers are impressive..

I can't unsee PacMan

Can't you sleep @james.wilson

Lol, not sure about the DM but he's definitely that demographic, really intelligent guy, but not at the same time. Whilst I'm aware of the risks of ID theft I don't dwell on it, but as I say I'm a pragmatist and will possibly come unstuck at some point, but in the meantime I won't lose any sleep over it.

I'm sure we all value it, just to differing levels maybe. I've always been lapse tbf. The two wyze cams are in an empty property atm on a mifi thing, accounts are set up with unique email addresses though. My brother in law by contrast is fanatical about security, to the point I think he's lost the plot a bit, he's got 12 (iirc) cameras on his self build where 5-6 would have sufficed (Hik though) and ~16 zones on the alarm. He keeps all his passwords in a book and won't do Internet banking and has stickers over his laptop camera lol. Banking aside I don't over think security and I'm pretty pragmatic with most things.

Lol I've got a couple of these, I think their great vfm (security issues aside)

To summarise (I'm not sure of the relevance of your mother in laws age) yes most likely it's her property but no accredited company would hand over the code. You have a throuple of options: Ask ADT to default the engineer code, you could try and coordinate this with a routine inspection visit foc, otherwise it should only cost a call out fee. Call and ask for the retention dept and negotiate your anual price. Engage another company to take over the system, just beware that the engineer codes can be locked on this system.

We've just taken on a 64 year old guy, he'll be doing c35k miles pa, I don't see any issue tbf.

No upper age limit unfortunately.

From the RIO to energise a 12v relay.

Bitcoin or Amazon FBA, I'm a millionaire and can sell you a course....

I think we're actually a couple of generations along now sadly Lol, I know I sound old but I also think some sort of national service would work wonders for the little loves you see waving machetes around or ransacking shops in daylight.

Yeah thanks.

Exceptions to the rule as always, and yes, core subjects apart. I had a graduate who's degree was in automotive aerodynamics. He'd been privately educated (boarding school) all his life through the RAF and his level of basic English writing was shocking, he used to tell me to imagine what he'd be like had he not been in private education. Lovely guy but he's left us now after 3 years to work as a planner for an electric charge point company.

My school was rough as toast, we even made it into the local papers for it being shit and students smoking in class. Fantastic buildings, housed 1400 pupils and right in the middle of a large park but full of spastics. It was closed down and repurposed 2 years after I left. I'm sure a few ended up inside, one was a paedo but I didn't really stay in touch with more than 2-3 as I went to college instead of the dole or down t'pit.

I think it definitely used to be, but nowadays they are just businesses and the bar is pretty low, they do all sorts of meaningless courses (puppet design ffs) just to get the numbers (and cash) up. A massive percentage attend uni now compared to my era. As I say, when someone used to say they had a degree it was always kudos, now it's more 'meh'

I've no issue with students paying back for their uni education, a fair way imo rather than everyone else paying for it. As you say it's only paid back at a percentage over a certain amount of earnings (9% of outstanding debt when you hit 28k or thereabouts) I could count on one hand the people from my school who went onto uni but nowadays it's the norm so dilutes the talent pool imo. There's also the cost of accommodation and living if they don't qualify for a grant and for a couple of years we were paying over £1.2k pcm just for accommodation. As I say, I have no issues with those who benefit paying back providing those who can't afford it are subsidised to go in the first place. *eta, not talent pool, more the prestige of going.

Lol, Modern went through a phase of installing them, I hated them but pretty bullet proof (pun intended)

Just call the number in office hours, ignore the 'emergencies' bit.
