It would seem that it is the OP's physical condition that is making him a "prisoner", not the local crime.

So...accuse him? Check if you have one iota of intelligence please. Then try again. No one should live in fear bud. No one.

No need for me to check, I read the article and it seems that the OP is confined to the house for a great proportion of the time because of his physical condition, not because of a crime that occured down the road.

 

I made no mention of being afraid of becoming a victim of crime, isn't that something everyone is worried about?

 

But for the OP to say that he is now stuck in the house because of the local crime is incorrect, he was stuck in the house before the crime spree.

"...because of the local crime is incorrect,..." How would you know? Have you spoken personally with Colin?

 

In the meantime, just let Colin to do his best to deal with his ordeals (which I have empathy for) AND STOP YOUR NITPICKING PLEASE.

 

Remember the phrase: "There but for the grace of God, go I"

No, I have not spoken to the OP, so I can only base my opinion on what he wrote.

--Well i will put my bit in, you have no idea what you are talking about.

As many posters on here are aware i was always out and about before the murder, have not been out the gate since.

So i suggest you do not comment about me until you are better informed.

But seeing as the murder happened in the privacy of someone's house - would you not be safer "out and about" ?

I sympathise with your situation but if you haven't had personal interactions with the bad guys and don't mix with them socially why should you be in danger ? The murder is of course unsettling but it isn't a harbinger of future events for you. Your mind is making it worse than it is, it's what the mind does, if you can't control your mind this will lead to paranoia.

Shopping centres are safer than houses.

Again you are poster false information.

I never said the murder was committed in the house.

As the bad guys live only 4 meters away and have been known to stash things over our wall, my mind is not making things worse.

What if the police find things on our property?

 

Again a poster saying things when they are not aware of what is going on.

You may not have said it, but according to a newspaper I am not allowed to link to here, it happened in the house.

It did not happen in the house, ok.

It happened outside next to the boundary wall,

It was also reported that the murder weapon was a piece of wood , that was also incorrect.

[Sheryl]

Colin, do you have a dog?

If not, get one. They can greatly increase your security and provide good company.

I got mine years back when I had some security problems and not an issue since.

No longer needed a doorbell, either

This from a Thai news site "Before the dead man crawls out, he dies at the entrance to the bedroom."

 

From another Thai news site "The accused took the third wooden stick. Put on the scene Bashing the dead to many times.Then use the cover to cover the dead. "

 

Seems strange that every news outlet has got the story all wrong?

Why d you insist on spouting nonsense?

Happened not 20 meters from me, wife and most of the village were at the re- enactment, saw the killer show police what he did and where he did it, but you know better, what a plonker.

The biggest piece of nonsense of what you posted, the poor disabled man was confined in a wheelchair same as me and could not crawl anywhere,

 His legs were withered and useless due to polio as a child.Never crawled in over 40 years.

To reduce the chances of the dog eating food that maybe poisoned, teach him/her to only eat food given by yourself or your wife.

Invite Netjunkie over to test the dog out !!

Don’t forget to starve the dog for a couple of days beforehand !!

Great!

 

But why on earth tether him outside? He should sleep at the foot of your bed each night! Especially in the rainy season.

 

BTW my dog is "just" a Chihuahua and don't laugh, the whole neighborhood is afraid of him. They make fabulous watch dogs. He was given to me by my Cambodian family after I had some incidents involving a mentally deranged man from the neighboring village who kept trying to get into my house when he knew I was there. I lived alone, the  only house down a long driveway and with  no other houses within earshot - you get the picture. Local police couldn't do much of anything as he had not yet committed a crime, his family couldn't control him, and I was at my wits' end....but from the moment the Chihuahua arrived, he never again so much as paused at the top of the road. Nor did (or does) anyone else! Though now the local laundry service will only toss hurriedly the laundry over the front gate as they are terrified of the dog, and I have to personally escort the lady who comes in to clean in & out of the house each day for her own protection. ?

 

I suspect people on drugs, like people with mental problems (not that these are mutually exclusive categories) are afraid of dogs, and dogs are good at detecting people's intentions. (Though mine considers the intention to vacuum or deliver laundry as decidedly suspect!).

[faraday]

Used to have a Jack Russell many years ago.

 

They're affectionate, obedient & protective. They fight very fiercely.

 

Perhaps a short haired dog might be more manageable?

Sheryl dog would not be tethered outside, our original home was built on concrete pillars, with only a store room below, 

Our pickup is parked below the house, to the right of the pickup are the stairs to go upstairs spot for the dog to be safe is below the stairs, protected from wind and rain, but dog would be able to see all around.

Half of the area is now covered with my new bedroom, bathroom, kitchen

We have two Thai Chihuahuas (big beasties, the dog is over 3kg) super little dogs and great guards, they don't realise how small they are.

 

I suspect Colin would be looking for something with rather larger teeth.

 

Those who have owned a Chi will understand:-

If you tie up a dog at night he will not be able to do much good,he should be in the house with you.
