UK here, live in a nice flat. Recent wave of burglaries appear to be entering from the rain water drain pipes to our central courtyard. Evidence include the grate being left off and trails of filth and debris. We must keep this drain open or the courtyard floods. Any tips on keeping criminal types out of these pipes?
weld it
When plugged, this drain can allow up to a meter of water to accumulate. Is there a way to cut the welds underwater so plugging can be removed?
>attach grate to drain
>water passes but not people
>????
>Profit!
The grate needs to be removeable to clean out the pipes.

Oy vey cool it with the antisemitism
Weld two eye bolts on it and use a padlock. Or put something very heavy on it, if it floods during rainy season you just remove the heavy thing. Or put a roll of razor wire in the drain
So something like this? Looks secure but maybe someone could trip over the eye bolts.
You can use this idea but put decorative rocks around the eye bolts to keep that from happening.
You guys got sewer israelites too?
Let's just say it's the polar opposite. Can't say more without subjecting myself to an arrest and criminal charge.
>sewer Black folk
lol
leave work boots and a job application at the entrance
When a European uses the word "burglar" it is a dog whistle for Bulgarian, AKA thieving gypsy.
That time is not long but gone. It's all sand descendants now.
Gyppos are usually Romanian and the uk doesn’t really have them anyway: they’ve got
UK has gypsies in some counties, they're irish though
>they're irish
Are they chronic thieves like continental gyppos?
Thieves, crooks , swindlers, fraudsters, thugs and more. They are an absolute pox on society
most of the time, theft sprees always follow the ones that travel in big groups
ones that travel alone (by which I mean just one family, single caravan) seem to be better, but you don't see them often, maybe that's all just because there are fewer of them though
Might try attaching an alarm to the grate. As for welding or locking it, I won't recommend since there there could be liability issues if your little ratlings get trapped or hurt in any way. That's not hyperbolic bullshit either, the system is fricked
Seems like a very dangerous thing to do, you could die of hypothermia.
>There's nothing you can do to stop me
Ask them if they have their appropriate drain travel loicense.
These burglars have no paperwork, and if caught, will only serve a few months.
>and if caught, will only serve a few months
>serve a few months
who's going to tell him?
no paper work means no trail when they go missing. you know what to do
Move out of a shithole neighborhood
If OP lives in Londonstan it's all a shitty neighbourhood. You know how they say you are never more than 12 feet from a rat in a big city, London is like that except its future doctors and engineers
Get a decently large circular planter, maybe 2ft or 3ft wide. Put a fake tree/bush in it, and then fill it up with concrete.
It will weigh an absolute frickload, but can be rolled or slid out of the way to access the sewer.
Alternatively:
Wait until the wet bandits come again, then dump a bucket of shit (or worse) on them down the grate.
Op said it floods, so maybe just wait until they're in there, put the heavy thing on the grate, and let the rain do it's thing?
Sage advice. Simple solutions are often the best.
The burglaries aren’t happening when it’s raining, for the obvious reason that the drainpipe is full of water.
the opposite of israelite is muslim
>both semetic and abrahamic religions
just 'coz they hate each other don't make them opposites
Dunno, but has this happened yet, OP?
Unless you are hiding some catacombs down there, no normal sewage pipe in a residential building is that large. You think they will crawl up your toilet through a 50mm wide pipe?
The inlet grate is about a meter across and connects to a pipe about the same diameter.
Reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit is it?
>claims to live in a nice flat
>gets raided by sewer dwellers
>sewer dwellers
No. They lift grates on the streets and enter ar night.
Don't be antisemitic
>OP claims he's being harassed by CHUDs
>police are like those goddamn alt right, white supremacy neo nazis, well get them for you
>anon explains they are the wrong colour to be white supremacists and are just thieving bastards
>ends up doing time for being a racist and spreading hate speech against people of tunnels
Ambush thrm with a bat, make them know pain
put some turtles and a rat down there. they should take care of it.
Update: based upon map research at the dept. of public facilities, the drain map presented here represents actual conditions. It is likely that burglars are accessing at the grate in front of our building. Our porter has been advised and will keep watch at night, and will notify us at once if burglars are seen accessing the drain. We would rather stop them there instead of where they emerge in our courtyard.
>Our porter has been advised and will keep watch at night
what the frick is a porter lmao shit sounds straight medieval. do all "flats" come with a nightwatchman over there?
why don't you see if his majesty's right honourable chancellor of drains will petition the gratesman's guild to commission a padlockwright lmao
Oh look, the frog poster is an idiot.
Uh oh, frogposter upset the Porter's Guild
>why don't you see if his majesty's right honourable chancellor of drains will petition the gratesman's guild to commission a padlockwright lmao
This has been a pretty good thread overall but I lost here
>petition the gratesman's guild to commission a padlockwright
If you.can drill some holes in the edge you can just add some bolts.
Internal hex are a better idea because no one can trip on them and they're not too much of a b***h to clean out
Or
that is probably against the law in places like San Francisco
isn't this a tripping hazard? where would this kind of locking mechanism even work? you can put it on the pavement and not on a sidewalk.
In SF it is illegal to obstruct the entrance to your shit pipe.
When I was a kid I honestly thought a butt plug was to keep anal rapists from doing their thing... Then the internet ruined me.
I used to think pussy was a slang for breasts as Josie and the Pussycats in Archie comics show a lot of boobs, so the tight pussy joke where some guy stuck his hands in his girlfriend's chest and was told to clap was extremely confusing to me.
This. Also, no need for the trip hazard eye bolts. Just drill/punch pic related into the concrete around the grate and secure the bar with regular hex bolts. You can get fancy and countersink the holes in the bar/use flush countersunk bolts to minimize the tripping hazard, but I don't think hex bolts are too bad in that sort of setting. You may need a cross shaped bar or even a ring to make sure the gyppos can't slip the grate out from underneath it.
Forgot pic related.
since OP is a homosexual and cannot post a proper picture I'm going to take a guess from the shitty aireal that this is what we're dealing with.
That's it but the grate is flush with the ground.
And here is what is intended for future burglars.
and setting a heavy thing on it doesn't work because why again? something like a giant pot that you can move from above easily but you aren't going to push the grate against from below.
Rubbish will accumulate around the edges of plant pots and block the drain.
and when that happens go pick up the fricking trash you disgusting piece of shit. or move it and clean up the garbage. you already said the drain needs cleaned occasionally. tell your neighbors to stop being fricking indian street shitter tier and stop littering.
haha, what? Europeans are subhuman morons
a fricking padlock?
fill the drain with poisonous gas, make sure there is no or very little air flow
they come in, never come out
get a camera
flood it with poisonous gas
>roody-poos crawling through the sewers into your very expensive courtyard
>not allowed to own guns to shoot them
>not allowed to block the pipe
>not allowed to booby trap the pipe
>for some moronic reason this courtyard was built to flood if the drain is blocked and people still need to go down there to clean it out
Well OP if I was you I'd probably fricking move to another house where I'm not terrorized by sewer bandits and a moronic engineering decision
It's interesting that while I cannot own a rifle, I can own a crossbow or a railgun. I can even make them automatic since they're not "guns"

Sprave has been making 'mass acceleration devices' to allow germans and others to defend themselves in their insane no-gun policy landscape, where only criminals have them. And the State, another kind of white collar criminal.
fill it with barbed wire

the solution is clearly to shit and piss down the drains
That may be normal in your home country where they piss and shit in the streets and gutters, but over here sewage goes through different pipes than rain water. I refuse to turn my neighborhood into a stinking third world ghetto to combat immigrant thieves.
You are too late.
Fight fire with fire.
A shit and piss filled pipe will not deter them Satan, prince of lies.
Unfortunately this is true. Only thing third worlders understand is power and domination. You must rape them anon.
/an/non here, do some gardening, in the long term, thorny rose bushes, in the short time, vines that requuire frame to grow on, you can get wire tomato cages with sharp edges, obviously be careful that you don't cut yourself. You can also have a rock garden with rocks that are too heavy to lift easier, it can look really nice, either Japanese style rock garden with some maples, or Arizona style with cacti, or mountain style with Campanula. Depending on how much sunlight you get, a lot herbs like thyme like growing out between jagged rocks.
Buy a reliant robin and park the front tire on the cover. Move car when drain needs cleaning lol
That's too light, they can lift that.
OP, use a old wheelbarrow with a rock in it. Fill it with soil and plant some things so it looks like a garden decoration.
You could kick a Reliant out of the way.
Order a few welding rods on Amazon. Take the 12v battery out of your car. Connect a set of jumper cables to the battery. Connect the welding rod to one of the jumpers and the other to the metal grate. Do your best to weld the thing shut. Once welded shut spray it with Fluid Film or grease. Also rape them.
