Why you have to point my nationality in almost every post. You sound like a xenophobe bigot.

No I don't you just feel like I do.

And as you are getting British humour when are you coming over?

I used my common sense to pointing out that TVs are stolen from the houses or I need to conclude that British thieves are different from the rest of the World? You don't even know how to do a proper search.

[B]Use a bit of common sense why would you steal a 55 inch TV from a home which you may have to get off the wall and detangle cables from speakers, DVD players, Sky box, etc from it plus get it outside to a van without notifying the neighbours, when you can steal a passport and laptop which you can put in a carrier bag and get on the bus with?

The largest thing I had stolen was a brand new washing machine that was plumbed in.

Zeity muses on the £1.8k of stuff in the salting house.

Fell onto the back of a van.

Bulltulip.

This is your argument for not believe that TV's are not stolen.
TVs are stolen too, and your pants ...

1. ID stuff like passports and driving licences
2. Money stuff like cash and credit/debit cards especially those with chips. Also jewellery.
3. Small higher value electrical goods like laptops, mobile phones and games consoles
4. Vehicular stuff like cars, push bikes*, motorbikes and scooters - though they tend to be stolen to order
5. Garden stuff - people have weird stuff stolen from their gardens so it can be plants, ornaments, bricks or whatever.
6. Baby buggies

In short it needs to be small enough to hide easy or a means of escape as well. The weird stuff like the garden stuff I guess it's just opportunists with vans.

*You push bike just needs to be worth more than £200 and someone will try and steal it.

They don't?

How about my 2011 MBP then?

What do they steal these days?

You mean it's hard for a burglar to whack you with it due to the fact it is fecking heavy? Burglars don't steal TVs any more from people's house.

Toshiba 32" CRT similar to this but 5 years older and a bit smaller https://www.cnet.com/uk/products/toshiba-36zp48/review/

Absolute top of the range BITD and burglar proof. It shows no sign of stopping or dropping quality.

Talk to someone that knows what they are talking about. There is some rules of thumb about distance a different size where too big is actually worse as your peripheral vision can handle it if the telly is too big. Your viewing experience will be worse if the TV is too big. Clever stuff.

That said plenty on Google about it.

Just has to be big enough to see the nipples, and far enough away so as not to get jizz on the screen.....

Don't have one. I find the cinema in the basement is big enough.

Is the smell of formaldehyde alluring or off-putting? Or are you just used to it by now?

How big is your TV ?

Ours is 42", Panasonic plasma, bought it 8 years ago just before the Olympics in China.

It's a classic TV and the damn thing won't die and I refuse to replace it while it still works

Never wanted a TV
