People applying for jobs when the interview date is stated on the advert, get invited to interview, only to then not be free to come to interview on said date and request alternative dates...

No.. and you've just lost the opportunity too for wasting my time.

And not reading the ad doesn't say much for cognitive functioning.

Theft and damage to the oil tank at work, again. It is in a locked compound, they have climbed over, snapped a pipe off and taken 100-200 litres. It is not just the theft of the oil but the cost of the damage. We need to get someone out to repair the pipe, the pump may well be damaged from running dry. Throw in the oil that poured into the bund which is stinking the outside out. CCTV doesn't pick them up, too dark to see when they took it.

Just what you need right now

Scumbags! Have you not got any security lights?

No. The tank is diagonally opposite our unit, across a through road on the industrial estate to other units. There is a 24hr gym just past us which will have people passing at all times triggering the lights. However, I think it is something to investigate if we are allowed to set the lights up to point across the road. There are no residents to upset but I'm not sure how it stands safety wise in terms of people driving through, will it blind them?

Have you considered small battery cameras that also have LEDs?

I'm not try to teach 'granny to suck eggs' but you can get these for less 100 notes but the more you pay better the performance. If you have a wireless router with enough range across the road you could get it to trigger email alerts. Most have memory chips etc. With the battery power or solar panels you have the flexibility of location.

No egg sucking tips there, don't worry. Happy to look at all possible suggestions ?

Do you not have CCTV with night vision? Even a small camera pointed above the oil tank could be a deterrent.

We have CCTV, stickers all over the tank stating that. Sadly not night vision. Even if it had night vision, would it be clear enough from 10-20m to pick up a clear view of someones face? A bigger deterrent is clearly needed.

I've got a Ring floodlight cam at the front and back. Worth a look at that too.

Companies like iGeek, Nest, TP-Link make cameras with high resolution, infra-red, wireless comms, wired(12v) or battery and solar powered that could be stuck on the tank near the inlet and/or outlet with remote event storage to the cloud or office NAS.

Good luck with research

Depends on the camera I guess. We have a system that I got on Amazon, Sannce I think it is, cost about £300 for a 4 camera system and the nigh vision is clear right across our garden, so probably about 15-20m. I have on positioned over the driveway and late last year we had some little scrotes going round checking cars in driveways for unlocked doors and we managed to capture their faces clear as day to pass to the police. Not bad for a cheap system that has a pretty good app that lets you image capture and record directly from the camera feed.

I have probably the same system. Image quality is very good, even at night.

And what's the betting that the police will do precisely naff all?

Police did their jobs pretty well and swiftly (they were "known") but it was the courts that let down everyone that had incurred damage to a car, house or garage by allowing them to walk.

Pleased to hear the police in Fife seem to care more than they do in London.
