There was a plumber a while back that installed the same system in 10 houses. He’d go back a week later and steal it then put it in the next place.

When we were building our house these things were getting ripped off all the time. I chased off a guy trying to steal ours one night. The cop who lives next door and I gave him a run – with speed like that he should be on the Olympic team!

A good theif goes to Bunnings or Magnet Mart and buys (or steals) a device for getting non standard screws off, because non standard screws are anything but non standard.

Good plumbers install them with non-standard screws – the type that need more than a basic phillips head to get them off the wall.

As I understand it one of these a week are knocked off out in Gungahlin….often from occupied homes!
