why do people do it
Evilgoat:
CCTV isnt much use TBH. If the footage isnt perfectly clear the police wont accet this. We've had footage turned down from the £300 night sight IR cams that Tesco use and indded the internal shop cams because of poor quality before now.
If you must get one spend the money on a good colour camera and if you need night sight, a decent IR illuminator.

May be worth your neighbour contacting consumer direct on 08454 040506 http://www.consumerdirect.gov.uk/.
Through them he can get civil advice and trading stadards will be informed who may take enforcement action.
Lord Shagg-Pyle:
Unfortunately, its the same old story. People think cheap is good, and end up suffering for it. I can't believe your neighbour was that daft, especially with all the consumer awareness stuff on the box at the moment.
My mum in law (bless her) had one of the leaflets come through the letterbox,offering hedge removal cheap. She stupidly got them to come round and they were giving her stupid quotes as well as saying they could do the gutters cheap with UPVC, even though it was obvious they had just been done.
Luckily I was off shift and a few subtle hints like mentioning trade descriptions act, Environmental Health act and Wildlife and Countryside Act confused their poor minds and off they went. That and a few well place usages of words begining with 'F' etc.

Nothing like a car going 'LOOK I'M BEING STOLEN' to send em running for cover. Specially if they've already got in and assumed no alarm :)
