So a lot of houses got blacked out because someone got trapped on the roof?

I have motion detector installed between roof and ceiling.
It gave me problem because around my housing area, some pests larger than mouse like to roam the roof.

So many times my alarm went off in the middle of the night, waking the entire neighbourhood.

Nowadays I have to bypass the alarm on the ceiling

LOL.... fried thief.... hmm maybe i should try this when i get my own property ...

Wow, so will it make you in trouble with against law? because the thief get kill

not sure, read the news from The Stars last year, one word for the thief "You ask for it!" serve them good!

yup... i dont think there is any law regulating that... it is just like you are stealing copper from the substation and kena fried... can the family members sue TNB?

in Bolehland ma, semua ok 1

Wa that is damn dangerous, but if really happen that, is not good lor,because the fried thief die on top of your house. Sounds scary

not as scary as someone that get C4 and blow to pieces ma

LOL

if u ask someone to repair your roof how ? die lah like that

should be able to disable the electricity mah...

switch off!

These are the steps I've taken to prevent entry through the roof.
- Cementing you roof tiles.
- Add grille in between the roof and plaster ceiling
- Motion sensor that covers 360 degree (Each can only cover 90 degree so I placed four of it)
- Keep all your ladders indoor and if you have no choice, chain them up

That's about it.

This is very insightful. Am moving in to a DS and i have heard stories on breakins via roof in SS2 and BU. Quite scary!

I see many views on ideas. Any pics and how much will it cost (average cost maybe?)

no one think about in case of fire, able to rescue or not?

i read somewhere, insunce co. will not let you claim if you do such modification on roof.

maybe someone can check and let us know. i heard say only, so far ...

i dont think so. under the tort law, there is a concept called occupier's liability. we as the owner of a house have different duty of care toward our invitee, licencee & trespasser. theft/intruders are tresspassers and we dont have any duty to ensure the safety of any tresspasser.

i have decided

planning to just add extra beam (kap chai) to my roof. Will cost around extra RM 2.5k for those (22x60 built up)

hope this is good enough

makesure the gap between the "kok chai" are not wider than 1 inch.
