Nom sets a trap

[Montree]

Following the burglary at his apartment Nom has set booby-traps using fishing line. They are designed to either pull down heavy objects, which will be noisey, or to trip someone up. Using one of his favourite English phrases this is a “good idea”. I’m not convinced that it will do much good and the inconvenience of living in a booby-trapped apartment would drive me mad.



Meanwhile his mother continues to recover from her fall. Here she is in her wheel chair.



Here’s Nom distributing children’s shoes in a mountain village. He helps with charity visits organised in collaboration with the military that visit poor mountain villages with donations of clothes and food.



He likes to cook treats for the children and helps distribute them. Here he is again in the yellow shirt.

I hope he is careful about setting such traps. If the intruder is injured, Nom could end up in trouble too.

There's no doubt that your boyfriend has a good heart.

His thoughtfulness and generosity towards others who are less fortunate are such commendable traits for a guy his age.

Maybe one day he'll be fortunate enough to live in an area that's not so prone to robberies.

I'm all for recurrence prevention. However, it is better done properly.

Such as fitting a secure door, with multi-point locks, a room safe and perhaps an alarm.

I agree. Setting some sort of booby trap is, in my opinion, the wrong way to even attempt to go about it. Doing things such as Jun suggests would prevent an intruder from gaining access in the first place. Setting booby traps could not only fail, but completely backfire on the person who set them, rendering him legally culpable if the intruder or anyone else entering, even legitimately, is hurt - and that's if the booby trap even works. And suppose it works perfectly. There's no guarantee it would actually be enough to scare off the intruder.

I doubt Nom or anyone he knows has any expertise in setting booby traps.

I hope Nom takes the appropriate security steps. Setting booby traps might be fine for a TV show, movie, or spy novel, but in real life much too dangerous and unrealistic way to deal with the problem.

As Jun says, proper prevention is the answer, not trying to set traps.

There's no doubt that your boyfriend has a good heart.

That is very true. I've never met anyone else like him.

[Gaybutton]

I've never met anyone else like him.

Yes, you are definitely among the very few truly lucky ones.

Also a CCTV. They're so cheap and easy to install and link to your phone these days.
