In what used to be Great Britain,

"Don't put wire screen over your shed windows; if the thieves hurt themselves on it, you're in trouble!"
This is so freakin' pathetic you can't laugh at it. Especially the advise from the police:
Pc John Lee, a crime reduction officer for Tandridge, said: “We are constantly advising home owners to protect their property and the contents of their shed or garage, however, a commonsense approach needs to be taken.

“To properly secure your sheds, Surrey Police strongly advises people to invest in items such as good-quality locks and bolts, and not to resort to homemade devices, as this could cause injury.”
So. It's ok for the thieves to break or cut locks and such, but if you put some screen over the windows and the thieves get hurt WHILE BREAKING IN, their injury is your fault and you're liable. Wonderful.
