Signs of the Crimes or Cut Off in Their Crime

Outside a Local Supermarket.

These days seems signs like this one
Increasingly appear
And they are simply not done
To instil needless fear,

For filching and hijacking
Are daily facts of life,
Crime cannot be sent packing
Without a lot of strife,

Solution was suggested
By a good friend of mine,
Don’t get these folk arrested
Or make them pay a fine,

Just place spring-loaded blade
Instead of an alarm,
Beneath the chassis laid
To do some useful harm,

For crooks with legs chopped short
Are less inclined to try
Activities the sort
Of which we now decry.
