Ok. Time for a cafe poll.
You drive an open top car with an open dash. In that dash, amongst other things you have a bottle of water in a soft drinks bottle, and a packet of mints. Unfortunately, you've noticed that kids have a habit of reaching into the parked car as they walk by and helping themselves to the mints and the drink which they think should be sprite or similar. Is it fair and right that you should replace the mints and the water with a laxative?

J Stratford, how about one of those mouse traps that Socrates laid around the coffee house?

Bluey, I can't do that as a kid standing by your car with tears running down his face and blood all over his girlfriends fag packet is likely to attract attention. Whereas if he started feeling a little bit loose a few hundred yards further on, then they would be plenty far enough away for the suspicion to be diverted and besides can you imagine the embarresment they would go through. Added to that a mouse trap would only get one of them, whereas if they where to share the mints around before realising the error, well the thought of 10 kids suddenly being hit by the realisation that they need a bathroom urgently is priceless.
I would just like to point out for legal purposes that this would only be a hypothetical stiuation.

Hadn't thought about the fact that you might be prosecuted. I just thought about how to stop the habit of the kids nicking from the car.

Socs it is only hypothetical.... at the moment. I need to work out a way of making it look realistic!
Bluey, the problem is that the police don't care if someone had to break in and steal something if that item is then potentially dangerous. As far as I'm concerned, I can legally carry laxatives in my car for my own consumption, whereas a mousetrap is a bit too obviously designed to be dangerous to an innoncent thief. I mean as tempting as it is to lace a packet of cigerettes with cyanide, I don't think my views on solving the problems of theft and underage smoking would be supported by the wider community.

But where would be the fun in that? (And I'm not talking about the fun from the car itself :-))

J Stratford, I was going to suggest mothballs as that might add some different form of amusement. Just by sniffing on them the side effects coud be...
An 18-year-old girl who was hospitalized with scaly skin on her hands, elbows and legs, unsteadiness and mental sluggishness shows the risks of sniffing mothballs, French doctors say.
However, on reading the article further.........even more dire consequences could happen as mothballs contain paradichlorobenzene, or PDB, a chemical that can cause liver and kidney failure and severe anemia.
Perhaps not very kind to the kids so it looks as if laxitives might be the solution. And if it not at least it will be amusing.

Unfortunately I'm too caring in that I wouldn't wish to cause long lasting physical harm. The only problem with the laxatives idea is if I forget myself!
