In November 2024, residents in Northumberland, a region in northern England, devised a clever trap to combat a series of attempted thefts in their neighborhood.
They set up a “Home Alone”-style trap, which involved a water-filled bucket and a string stretched between buildings. This inventive setup successfully caught a 56-year-old man in the act. Upon his capture, authorities discovered stolen jewelry and bicycles from various other homes at his residence.
On the 18th of November, a local court found him guilty of both attempted theft and theft, sentencing him to 3 years and 7 months in prison. This incident highlighted the community’s proactive measures to protect their property and the effectiveness of their unconventional approach.
