Ark. man in plane spots his home being burglarized

But not much good for weighting fishing line.

…a plastic pipe loaded with split fishing shot…

Sounds overcomplicated to me.
Nowt wrong with a good old-fashioned piece of 2″x2″. With or without nails. :diablo::dev2:

Good to see you following the advice of the Boy Scout motto at all times…..;)

It wasn’t in my bathroom.

It was tidily and conveniently stored inside a length of 1.5″ plastic pipe that just happened to be leaning against my bedside table at the time.

And yes, it was. 🙂

That must have been supremely satisfying!:) But I do wonder how you came to have split fishing shot to hand in your bathroom!:eek:

…so back to the thread..anyone else witnessed their home being burgled??:eek:

Oh, indeed.

I once awoke in the middle of the night to find someone’s arm through the small bathroom window all the way up to the shoulder, groping for the catch on the larger window.

You should have heard the racket Mr Scrote made when I grabbed the thumb, twisted the wrist back and then laid into the elbow with a plastic pipe loaded with split fishing shot.

And the language! 😮

Many years ago our house got broken into while we were asleep upstairs. Took the TV, VCR and a few other bits then took our car to take their loot away from not only ours but three other houses down the street. The only thing we got back was the car as it was dumped round the corner a couple of days later.

They caught the culprits who got sent down for 7 years for it.

BARKER: ‘O’s!
CORBETT: ‘O’s?
BARKER: ‘O’s.
(He goes to get a hoe, and places it on the counter)
BARKER: No, ‘O’s!
CORBETT: ‘O’s! I thought you said ‘O! (he takes the hose back, and gets a hose, whilst muttering) When you said ‘O’s, I thought you said ‘O! ‘O’s!
(He places the hose onto the counter)
BARKER: No, ‘O’s!
CORBETT (confused for a moment): O’s? Oh, you mean panty ‘o’s, panty ‘o’s! (he picks up a pair of tights from beside him)
BARKER: No, no, ‘O’s! ‘O’s for the gate. Mon repose! ‘O’s! Letter O’s!
CORBETT (finally realising): Letter O’s! (muttering) You had me going there!

My favourite Americanization.

Burglarizationism.

What on earth does ‘buglarized’ mean?

Over here, plain, simple ‘burgled’ works just fine.

Two peoples divided by a common language 😀

Quite right, Moggy. I think they meant Burglarizationism.
