No problem Jono. This Forum, like any other, would be the poorer for people not reacting to things that "annoyed" them.
In this case, I think the main point that Stoop wanted to make was that, whilst the boxes might be a good idea, there was always the possibility that some boxes might be nicked.
I think that you and I would concede that. Unfortunately, Stoop then linked that to a personal opinion about who was more likely to commit the crime. I know exactly what he meant as I have personal experience of it.
Lets leave it at that.
As to you being a new member, I suspect that you are not going to be shy in putting your point of view forward on a variety of topis and I look forward to reading them.
Enjoy the Forum and take care
Regards
