In the Middle East if you get caught stealing, three times and you lose a hand. It’s amazing how effective that has been at preventing theft. In England some homeless people do crime around Christmas so they can spend winter in a free hotel.. aka prison. Food, shelter, tv, you know.. all the creature conforms.
Simple, leave it on and anyone that files a complaint against him for electric shock gets charged with attempted burglary. Don’t touch what’s not yours and you have nothing to worry about!
You cant be charged for attempted burglary unless they have evidence you attempted burglary! They could say they stumbled against the van! It wasnt explained that well but I think it only shocks if you open the door, not just touch it. That being the case they'll probably say they heard a dog howling inside, thought it was hurt, no one about, so took a look. No law against that!
@@gbwildlifeuk8269 if it was a big corporations like McDonald's or a bank's property then the law would act but the small man won't be protected by the law
gbwildlife uk you pretty much summed up what’s wrong with society right there. Pretty sure you get a shock when alarm is on and you need to touch the back of the handle so you actually have to grab the handle, can’t get a shock from slumping or leaning on van. If you get a shock then you have clearly attempted to mess with someone’s property without their approval so you are guilty, don’t touch someone else’s property and you are fine. Innocent people get screwed once again, he can get charged if someone messes with van yet if they catch someone who steals from hi van then they usually get very little if any punishment. Who are we trying to protect in this world!
Set it up in such a way as the shock is exactly the same as someone would receive from a police tazer. How can they complain then? As long as it is set up in such a way as it cannot be touched accidentally.
Had my van done 2 weeks ago & my tools stolen that makes 6 times in the last 10 years not once have the police even bothered to attend. The last time there were two full handprints on the passenger window, but they said they were to busy to attend & couldn’t send anyone for a week! I saw the article in the paper & have just purchased an energiser for equine fencing 12000v & 7.6 joules, wired from a leisure batt & split charger. I applaud this man & thank him for the idea👍👍
I'm with him 100%, the crime of theft should take precedence over any possible injuries sustained in said act....... if they dont carry out illegal behavior they wont come to any harm
@Modern Spirit what you don't think tradesmen pay taxes, we pay tax on all materials we have to buy, and pay tax just like any other plus the cost of an accountant to make sure we don't go to to jail because we made a mistake, think before you speak
What gets me about the police they haven't got time to come out to you when something's happened to you , but if you take the law into your own hands to protect yourself and your property, then they have all the manpower in the world to come out and protect the criminal from you.
I had a friend years ago who had an attempted theft of his car, so he got an old alternator taken the fine stranded wires out weaved them into the driver seat directly to the ignition, the moment any power was introduced from the ignition they would get a rather nice shock! If you had money or anything metal in your back pockets it really stung..... I’m sure with today’s electronics arming all the handles etc would be easy! Who cares if they survive or not!....
To bad air bags are not 50 cents use a airbag to botch slap the the thief lol plus you. Could post a video of it and we all could have many laughs and TH-cam could make even more money :-) :-)
People who believe the government are interested in our safety or protection should open their eyes. It's all about human rights for the criminal. The victim is expendable.
The guy is right to protect his property with that shock device. I think the comparison to a farmers electric fence fails. Such a fence is meant to keep the livestock in not primarely to keep thieves out.
Willie P whatever the rationale, the effect is there is an electric fence in the field! It exists, whatever legalese you want to use! People can still touch it!
garnhamr 😂 And your point is ? Do you think the police are gonna sit outside watching the van all night on the off chance someone try’s. Or do you think the police are going to actively go out looking for your stolen property. Nowadays you get burgled and you’re lucky if they even turn up. Come on bro wake up to reality.
Bu Jammy if this if that, yeah in a idealistic world, but it’s not like that, it is as it is and regardless if you think I’m victim blaming I’m right. You have to take responsibility for the shit world we live in where everything has to be nailed down to stop shit heads taking it. Would you go in and leave your car keys in the car door? Go out leave your front door open? The reality of it and as much as you don’t like it, it’s your responsibility to keep your shit safe, what’s it gonna take 15 mins at the most to take your drills etc in. Yeah it’s a pain yeah you shouldn’t have to do it. Unfortunately we’re not living in a fairytale world.
@@sharkbite5744 the point is to fight for better not give up and accept 'reality' bro. You also seem to forget that this wasn't the norm not so long ago!
My dad did the same thing to his tractor to stop the petrol thieves only he used 20KV at 60watts. Next time we went to the farm the petrol cap was on the ground but the tank was full. Would love to have had a video.
I fitted a ht coil and two ht gaps onto my CB antenna to stop thieves taking my antenna, i made an alarm that when set off produced impulses at about 5 a second from a 12v ht coil, through a spark plug to assure the pulse wasnt damped by low resistance... So when the spark jumped the first gap in series, it was about 50,000 volts, then a second spark gap to earth to prevent the pulse burning out the coax, rig removed of course... This secong gap only fired if the theif didnt touch the antenna, but if he did with the alarm running his body resistance is lower than the second spark gap and he copped the full 50000v jumping the first in line gap... It worked,,, very well, and even a cop saw it in use and had nothing to say.. Just like a static discharge but with a lot more current... And what thief will say. I got a shock when i tried to rib a van... You want something electrical, have some free kilo volts....
Great point and if anyone is taken to court could use it as a defence in a roundabout way 2 different uses but it’s exposed to the public and people know not to touch it so it’s not like it’s brand new is it.
Rig an electronicly operated shotgun shell to fire upwards from the rear bumper when the alarm is set and the handle is pulled. There should be NO rules about defending what is yours.
Nugget Bunny Unfortunately the guy who rigged a shotgun in his stairs got sent down, but the ruling was overturned on a technicality. We are however allowed to take reasonable steps to protect our property. So maybe a metal bar that kneecaps them, your property is safe and they’re not going anywhere…win win.
It needs to be inside , after they break in, not before ! Make an example of them ! A couple of them scenes on the front page of the daily rags , may deter the others .SOB,s
@@LandersWorkshop It was, but re reading the story he lay in wait for them and it wasn’t a rigged shotgun. I must have mixed up two stories together. Look up Tony Martin U.K.
We have an effective method in Australia. Shovels. Do what you can to disable the thief, delete them, bury them in the outback. Can't get charged for murder if they never find the criminal.
I think it’s a brilliant idea 👍 Years ago my dad had a load of garden ornaments and they were being stolen. So he drilled holes through them and wired them up to an old electric cattle fence. Needless to say no more of them went walk about.
Saw something like this years ago where a guy modified his coils toshock anyone nicking his car. Got nicked when he fried but didn't kill a thief. Voltage was much higher though. This is an awesome deterrent
Great interview guys. It's good to hear this because the media made it sound like he livened up the metal mass of the external! Keep up the great work guys 💪
My truck was broken into at 1:00 PM on Sunday afternoon in downtown Chicago. Two police matrons were having a social visit across the street and, they couldn't even be bothered to waddle across the street to investigate and file a police report.
G'day from downunder. Good onya mate. Effing fantastic. Don't forget though, when you make something idiot proof, someone will be making a better idiot.
Reminds me of an old but sick joke. Bloke rings the Cops and asks them to come around as he has apprehended a burglar in his house and gets the reply, "Sorry we haven't got any cars in the area so you'll have to wait." He gives it a few minutes and rings them back to tell them that the burglar tried to escape so he has shot and killed him. Before you know it, the place is swarming with coppers and the one in charge says "Where's the body? I thought you said that you'd killed him" To which he replied "And I thought you blokes said that there were no cars in the area."
PM: 'You took a unique stance'...🤣. I'd love to see a thief report consequences of such an attempt on a mans livelyhood. I have seen the 'hidden' defence demonstrated before and quite like it!
I heard a story a few years ago of a corner shop owner who smashed some low life thief over the head with a bat , the police arrived at his shop later that night looking for cctv footage but didnt get any as the cameras were " not working " the scum bag had gone to hospital A&e for stitches and told the police that he had been assulted by the shop owner while trying to rob him at knife point , the police didnt take it any further . thieves are scum and should be disposed of .
If the van is broken into and all tools stolen the police won't even come and visit But if a thief calls the police and tells them he has got an electric shock after he tried to break in the police will be at the van owners house to arrest him within minutes
I remember in the news in 1980's a man did this to his Subaru, the gypsy boys who tried to steel it took him to court. The court ruled in fav of the man as he had very tiny stickers on his window warning people of high voltage. How ever the courts and corrupt cops said he will have to remove it. Not sure what he did.
This reminds me of being a dog owner and told never to put up a 'Beware of the dog' sign. If a burglar or home invader was hurt by the dog, they could even sue you from jail for "knowingly owning an uncontrolled dangerous animal". Slight change to signage: "Be AWARE of the dog". Love the shock idea.
It is a shame the police cannot do the job they are paid for and protect people and their property, that is why people have to resort to protecting themselves and their property, well done sparky.
The police can do their job. What they cant do is find someone who broke into a van and left no evidence who he was. The same as you'll never find the kid who pinched the apples off your tree! Or you could tell them how to do it eh?
Hopefully the criminals will be ⚡️Charged⚡️more - and then again by the courts. Yes - give the criminals an OBE too - Overcome By Electricity! and then the OBE award for Ray from Her Majesty.
Great idea, you could add some really high power strobe flashes on a ten second timer. When they get door open at night some truly bright strobes facing the back or seats will leave them blind for a few mins.
You maybe charged, damn right if some prick makes a complaint they wouldn’t be able to get to you quick enough to charge you. But yet they use tazers on a daily basis.
Common people who are against things like this do not realise that items like this will keep prices down, keep insurance covers down, if the thieves break in and steal £2500of tools they won't hit one van a night they will do two or three, as these tools generally end up on car boots or in the pubs for quick cash. The insurance company will try and get out of it if they can, so this ends up with the contractor losing the money and needs the to do his job!so it will be a portion of his future billing to go to replacement of tools,. If the insurance pay out, then that means the premiums are to rise.
Had my van done last week in Stevenage on a Tuesday night early morning Wednesday would love 10,000 volts on my van could not give a crap if they had a heart attack . Robbing b ....t ds👍
Im an electrician and I would have done the same thing. You can use an electric fence device that has a voltage output of 8000 volts.....but almost no amps. Its the amperage that would kill a person, not the voltage. I have used electric fences on a farm for pigs and goats. You can tell it when they touch the charged electrode on the fence! They always give out a little yip and get away from the fence!
No sympathy with anyone who breaks into anywhere to steal. Thieves deserve what they get. It's not a police issue, it's a legal issue, and the law as regards self-defence and self-protection in England has been idiotic for years. The simple rule should be: commit a crime, take whatever consequences happen, because it's your own fault.
I'm a firm believer that you have the right to protect yourself an your private property weather it in your shop or your house or your vehicle ! I have no use whatsoever for a thief ! I work for what I have an therefore its mine to protect !
Great idea. In addition to this place an additional false steel door inside each door which is thicker than the main doors and removable (lift out). I'm truly surprised that van manufacturers have such a blind eye to this. Who would buy something like this? Would you leave £15,000 in a metal box outside your house? Thats what its worth if the van and kit goes! Put pressure on the van dealerships manufacturers.
I've been manufacture and installing security gates into any size van. I've got footage of people breaking into on a drive. All my gates can be removed and installed into next van and less than half the price of this and my gates are being tested by Thatcham in April. It will be police and insurance approved
We travelled around SE Asia for 4 months, never had a bad incident , Got back to fremantle in western Australia, next morning parked our old Toyota camper van, went for breakfast, an hour later came back to old van, unfortunately it had been broken into, all luggage, passports, bank cards stolen in broad daylight. An unpleasant time consuming costly experience, Phoned police but they were to busy to come, went to police station and made a statement, end of story!
Yup - that was my thought on the original video - Thieves will just carry insulating rubber gloves and boots. Pair of wellies and a doubled up pair of Marigolds and they're in. Shame, it's a damn good idea (I've previously lived in such a shitty area, where he neighbours would try your door handles and sneak in....so, I had my house door handles wired to the mains! - I put a sign up on both front and back door advising them of this, and not one person tried the handles. Was I bluffing? No! But they didn't try to find out either by throwing water on the handle or trying to short it and see sparks. Yes, it woud have probably killed them by electrocution, but at the time I was all out for taking no shit anymore.
One of those powerful UV sterilising lights, which can cause burns with skin exposure, would do a great job keeping the inside of your van, and all your tools, nice and clean, without damaging metal objects. Of course, it would be sensible to set it so it "only turns off when the interior is *lawfully* accessed." One must keep things sanitary in today's world, but accidental exposure when the system is bypassed by an unauthorised individual, such as a thief, would certainly be an unfortunate side-effect of such a system. A warning sign is recommended: "Caution: Ultraviolet Radiation"
If this was sold in Sweden I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Starting about 6 years ago I've had hundreds of break ins in my car. Before that, I had one single one in 25 years of owning cars.
So guy goes to the police and says , ' I was breaking into this tradesmans van to steel his tools and got an electric shock . I want the tradesman prosecuted ' How's that gonna work then ? Well done to this excellent tradesman .
Well done Mr Taylor, i think with all the years it takes to collect your tools for your Trade and for yourself, then some low life comes along and pinches your stuff, then i think it's a brilliant idea. The Police won't help you which is why this type of crime is high, so why can't you protect your own stuff like this? so what if they get sore fingers or have an accident because of it, whose fault is it that they have sore fingers or an accident in the first place eh? Get this shock system Patented before someone else does, and you will be making loads. Stay Safe, Barry (Wirral, ENG)
My only worry is that a child could touch it and be hurt but if it's something where you have to actually be attempting to get into the van before it goes off then I'm all for it. Nothing wrong with protecting your property but not to the point where innocent people get hurt in the process.
Imma got a new lock down project; see if I can wire up my house this way! Ah the sweet smell of criminals frying on wires! I wonder if you could use the electronics from a bug zapper for this purpose?
The fact that criminals have more rights than citizens need to change in all countries!
Politicians always this & the people do nothing.. a nation of sheep will be led by wolves... look at England, Sweden, usa

I remember in the news in 1980's a man did this to his Subaru, the gypsy boys who tried to steel it took him to court. The court ruled in fav of the man as he had very tiny stickers on his window warning people of high voltage. How ever the courts and corrupt cops said he will have to remove it. Not sure what he did.
Best bit of kit I've seen id buy one. Think I will have to come up with my own version.
This reminds me of being a dog owner and told never to put up a 'Beware of the dog' sign. If a burglar or home invader was hurt by the dog, they could even sue you from jail for "knowingly owning an uncontrolled dangerous animal". Slight change to signage: "Be AWARE of the dog". Love the shock idea.
Wonderful Idea 💡
I wish you much success and much needed piece of mind .
It is a shame the police cannot do the job they are paid for and protect people and their property, that is why people have to resort to protecting themselves and their property, well done sparky.
The police can do their job. What they cant do is find someone who broke into a van and left no evidence who he was. The same as you'll never find the kid who pinched the apples off your tree!
Or you could tell them how to do it eh?
Make a TH-cam channel for the "victims" love to watch it.
Well done sir. Brilliant!
Hopefully the criminals will be ⚡️Charged⚡️more - and then again by the courts.
Yes - give the criminals an OBE too - Overcome By Electricity! and then the OBE award for Ray from Her Majesty.
Great idea, you could add some really high power strobe flashes on a ten second timer. When they get door open at night some truly bright strobes facing the back or seats will leave them blind for a few mins.
That's a FASCINATING IDEA. That should be made LEGAL for person s to install it in their vehicles. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
You maybe charged, damn right if some prick makes a complaint they wouldn’t be able to get to you quick enough to charge you.
But yet they use tazers on a daily basis.
really got a valid point there mate.
De fund your Po Lice
"This could catch on,....."🔊Sounds like a grand idea! !!!😨☺👍😎❤
This was amazing.
Never tell the authorities, when they call deny everything.
Police knocking at your door telling you that someone was înjured are no better than the thieves!
Good he has my full support great stuff we need to protect our tools
Ha, if anyone touches THEY will be the only ones charged ! With 2000v. Fair play that man.
DO WHATEVER NEEDS TO BE DONE TO STOP THE CRIMINALS.
He’s a legend, scumbag thieves get what they deserve!!!!!!
He’s going to be gutted when thieves work out you only need to wear rubber gloves to get in 😂
They will, very quickly.
Gloves render the shocker useless! Gunna get a harpoon for my van!😀
Your a star mate keep up the good work and turn up the volts
Great interview
My husband says, definitely not pissing on anymore door handles
Common people who are against things like this do not realise that items like this will keep prices down, keep insurance covers down, if the thieves break in and steal £2500of tools they won't hit one van a night they will do two or three, as these tools generally end up on car boots or in the pubs for quick cash. The insurance company will try and get out of it if they can, so this ends up with the contractor losing the money and needs the to do his job!so it will be a portion of his future billing to go to replacement of tools,. If the insurance pay out, then that means the premiums are to rise.
State of his van 🤣🤣🤣 great idea though. Wish i knew what i was doing to do that on my van
Lol it looks like the back of an electricians van! I love it! 😅
Love it from the USA
People’s livelihoods being ruined
The penalties given to thieves are not severe enough
Had my van done last week in Stevenage on a Tuesday night early morning Wednesday would love 10,000 volts on my van could not give a crap if they had a heart attack . Robbing b ....t ds👍
Im an electrician and I would have done the same thing. You can use an electric fence device that has a voltage output of 8000 volts.....but almost no amps. Its the amperage that would kill a person, not the voltage. I have used electric fences on a farm for pigs and goats. You can tell it when they touch the charged electrode on the fence! They always give out a little yip and get away from the fence!
I want one ! Come on ray get it in production please
No sympathy with anyone who breaks into anywhere to steal. Thieves deserve what they get. It's not a police issue, it's a legal issue, and the law as regards self-defence and self-protection in England has been idiotic for years. The simple rule should be: commit a crime, take whatever consequences happen, because it's your own fault.
Someone's been watching robocop; Magnavolt!
I'm a firm believer that you have the right to protect yourself an your private property weather it in your shop or your house or your vehicle ! I have no use whatsoever for a thief ! I work for what I have an therefore its mine to protect !
Great idea. In addition to this place an additional false steel door inside each door which is thicker than the main doors and removable (lift out).
I'm truly surprised that van manufacturers have such a blind eye to this. Who would buy something like this? Would you leave £15,000 in a metal box outside your house? Thats what its worth if the van and kit goes! Put pressure on the van dealerships manufacturers.
A heap of stunned Foreigners lying outside the van in the morning.....
Top stuff protect what's yours should be your right,no argument .
I've been manufacture and installing security gates into any size van. I've got footage of people breaking into on a drive. All my gates can be removed and installed into next van and less than half the price of this and my gates are being tested by Thatcham in April. It will be police and insurance approved
This is a great idea! I'd love to see these scumbags tried to break into your van now!
We travelled around SE Asia for 4 months, never had a bad incident ,
Got back to fremantle in western Australia, next morning parked our old Toyota camper van, went for breakfast, an hour later came back to old van, unfortunately it had been broken into, all luggage, passports, bank cards stolen in broad daylight.
An unpleasant time consuming costly experience,
Phoned police but they were to busy to come, went to police station and made a statement, end of story!
Thiefs are going to wear rubber boots and garden gloves next time
Yup - that was my thought on the original video - Thieves will just carry insulating rubber gloves and boots. Pair of wellies and a doubled up pair of Marigolds and they're in. Shame, it's a damn good idea (I've previously lived in such a shitty area, where he neighbours would try your door handles and sneak in....so, I had my house door handles wired to the mains! - I put a sign up on both front and back door advising them of this, and not one person tried the handles. Was I bluffing? No! But they didn't try to find out either by throwing water on the handle or trying to short it and see sparks. Yes, it woud have probably killed them by electrocution, but at the time I was all out for taking no shit anymore.
One of those powerful UV sterilising lights, which can cause burns with skin exposure, would do a great job keeping the inside of your van, and all your tools, nice and clean, without damaging metal objects. Of course, it would be sensible to set it so it "only turns off when the interior is *lawfully* accessed." One must keep things sanitary in today's world, but accidental exposure when the system is bypassed by an unauthorised individual, such as a thief, would certainly be an unfortunate side-effect of such a system. A warning sign is recommended: "Caution: Ultraviolet Radiation"
" shock the SHIT out of them" keep it going, Thanks
If this was sold in Sweden I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Starting about 6 years ago I've had hundreds of break ins in my car. Before that, I had one single one in 25 years of owning cars.
My Dad use to use a model Ford coil on his truck. Wouldn't kill anyone but it sure got your attention
So guy goes to the police and says , ' I was breaking into this tradesmans van to steel his tools and got an electric shock . I want the tradesman prosecuted ' How's that gonna work then ? Well done to this excellent tradesman .
JW it’s called a lawyer after the guy gets shocked
HERO he is. Leave the guy alone and check burglars hands for burns. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Well done Mr Taylor, i think with all the years it takes to collect your tools for your Trade and for yourself, then some low life comes along and pinches your stuff, then i think it's a brilliant idea. The Police won't help you which is why this type of crime is high, so why can't you protect your own stuff like this? so what if they get sore fingers or have an accident because of it, whose fault is it that they have sore fingers or an accident in the first place eh?
Get this shock system Patented before someone else does, and you will be making loads.
Stay Safe,
Barry (Wirral, ENG)
Excellent video brother keep up the great work 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇺🇲🇺🇲
I knew a electrician that the same thing about 20 years ago.
This needs to be standard equipment. 😉
Kind of bothered that no manufacturers have reached out to him. Butthen again I'm glad they haven't, cause it's quite unique.
Connect the handle up to the main grid , never mind the car battery 💥⚡
Let’s hope the Thieves get Charged (LITERALLY) when they touch the Van. Well done.
If being a thief is more lucrative and safer than working maybe he should think about joining them. The police don’t seem to mind.
My only worry is that a child could touch it and be hurt but if it's something where you have to actually be attempting to get into the van before it goes off then I'm all for it. Nothing wrong with protecting your property but not to the point where innocent people get hurt in the process.
The Fakey Cake Maker
them that child will learn to keep its Thievy hands off other peoples property
Imma got a new lock down project; see if I can wire up my house this way! Ah the sweet smell of criminals frying on wires! I wonder if you could use the electronics from a bug zapper for this purpose?
