An intruder received a taste of divine reckoning as he was chased from the Edinburgh flat he was breaking into by a man dressed as the Norse god Thor.
The housebreaker leapt from the first-floor window of the building to escape Torvald Alexander who was dressed-up for a New Year’s fancy dress party. Mr Alexander, 39, said the man may have been intimidated by the costume he made of the god of thunder out of tin foil. The intruder did not manage to take anything from the flat in Inverleith.
Can Thor legitimately use his hammer to defend his home from burglars?
Maybe it was the guy with the tinfoil trousers from the other thread you put up?
If he came at me with a hammer I’d jump out a first floor window as well!
That is awesome!
Some people don’t even need a costume …
Little ‘pull bombs’ (don’t know the english word for it, in dutch trekbommetjes) are also nice .. even better, to give the owner of the room/appartment a semi heart attack .. (installed this the other day at my boss’es door .. hoping it would be one of these days he would come in in his slightly manic state, not checking his door, nor use his key but just open it …which he did not that day ..LOL .. “new security system? he asked …
oooo i want one

Now sure I understand Derren won’t cure addictions, but how about customising burglar alarms on the side? A hypnotic voice that sticks burglars’ feet to the floor & then conditions them to trot off down the nick & turn themselves in… There might be the odd accidental death, but otherwise it’s a thunder-god of a business plan.
