Robin Hood was Insane?

According to some people's mentality, yes, apparently.



If you walk around giving money away, you must be mad, they think.

Car guards and Contracts

I don't believe in car guards, that is to say I can see them when shopping and believe that they exist and appear with outstretched hand and idiot smile before me. But I do not believe in the concept.

When you park your car at a shopping centre with hundreds of other people coming and going, sometimes behind booms with the option to pay a fee, why should you have another person standing around looking after your car?

Do you not trust in the alarm/immobilizer and/or gear lock/steering lock already fitted and used?

If you are paying for the privilege of leaving your car unattended for an hour or two in any case, why pay someone else as well?

I know how to reverse and can see pretty well, so no need for directions either; most of the time the car guard is in my way when I am trying to leave.

A contract is not agreed upon by simply responding to a greeting from a stranger when you get out and lock your car, neither did you accept that the little help provided by waving arms and indicating that you are in fact reversing is a binding agreement, so why pay anything at all?

We are dealing with an unsolicited, unwanted, misleading and false sense of security. What will the stranger without any weapons do when someone really tries to steal your car or belongings? Wave his hands around? Blow a whistle? By that time it is already too late.

We don't need anyone at the shopping centres, but in the suburbs closer to homes or schools, or on highway on-ramps where people get hijacked. This would be a better deterrent than a silly sign to tell you it is a hijacking hotspot. That serves only to indicate to the criminals where to find easy pickings.

And the cherry on the cake for me? If you are planning to do any kind of guarding, you must be registered with a professional body and have a security grade by law.

Fifty bucks says that the stranger in the day-glo vest doesn't even know this, much less that he can provide proof.
