Another story where so many things are just idiotic...

Man told to remove pond because it’s ‘dangerous for burglars’

Kevin Sheehan said he was told by his housing association that if someone breaks into his garden they could fall in as it is hidden from view the other side of his fence.

The 62-year-old’s pond is home to 80 fish and is surrounded by concrete blocks to prevent his one-year-old daughter, Olivia, falling in.

He said he has been threatened with an eviction notice unless the pond is demolished within three weeks.

He said: ‘I was thinking of my daughter’s safety and was building it up another two blocks.

‘I had it at the old height for about 15 years and it’s never been a problem.

‘The reason they gave was if someone breaks into the back garden they can fall in the pond because there’s a six-foot fence all round and they can’t see it.

I said ‘well they shouldn’t be breaking in’.’

Both parties have some splaining to do, but I think it's quite obvious it was a very idiotic statement to make about Burgler's safety.

On the other side, the guy is renting. Not his property. There are rules in place.

Burglers... **** 'em. They have no say.
