<off topic stuff removed - Chris T>
Anyway, a valid post without reference to animals etc - I remember reading an april fools joke thread a while back (in April believe it or not!) which said about people adopting NTL boxes... I think if NTL went out and fixed the boxes in that the doors stayed on the hinges and then got certain people who live nearby to monitor them with a key or something (of course for a small discount off their services
) might help keep an eye on these things.
