    Defibs. for public use and those found in ambulances etc. are totally different beasts, with a far greater range of capabilities.

    Yes, but who's going to use an advanced one or even buy one that fell off a lorry?  Limited market surely.

    They don’t pinch things like that with a view that they may need to use it,  they’re just louts who are looking to get their kicks,  it’s probably in a pond somewhere.

    Wasn't there an incident earlier last year when some ars*holes pulled one off a wall or similar? It wasn't long after that young footballer had a cardiac arrest and had to be stretchered off, and there was a big focus on getting them into all sorts of places. 
    Total scum.  :|

    Actually - that's an insult to scum.  
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    This could actually be a RTBC but the problem - 5000 children in Leeds not having a bed to sleep in - is definitely something for this thread. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/jan/02/leeds-bed-poverty-crisis-bex-wilson-zarach

    Good news 👍 
    I suspect it was ‘too hot to handle’.  The power of t’internet put to good use 😊

    Or they hadn't a clue what it was, just thought 'I'll 'ave that' or thought it would be a laugh. Idiots.

    I'm bored of the rain now. The garden is a quagmire, the dog is sulking and it's always dark. It feels like it has been for weeks. All that late autumn sunshine is a distant memory.
