nah its just someone being a pure idiot and causing needless hassles.. this estate isn’t too far away from me and its the sort of bullshit what goes on there.
the metal ones don’t have that much metal in them and only fetch big money when they are cleaned up and restored, as people use them for their Victorian town houses. You can buy modern reproductions of these anyway, they are a bit more expensive than screwfix stuff but not totally outrageously priced.
They are also fixed on somewhat more robustly and require tools to remove.
what this muppet is stealing are the cheap wireless kind, stuck on with those adhesive pads. I don’t like these sorts of bells anyway as they often activate from stray radio signals and you end up going to the door for people what aren’t actually there…
I do a lot of DIY at home and also some maintenance jobs at work including installing and looking after CCTV and access control 😉
