A few years back it was reported in the press that a village cricket
pavilion (clubhouse) had suffered repeat attacks with bricks through the
windows.

Eventually it was decided to fit polycarbonate sheeting instead of glass.

Some days later, the local teenage thug responsible for the attacks was back
and attempted to lob a brick through one of  the new windows. It bounced,
hitting him on the head, causing lacerations and knocking him unconcious.

A couple of days later, the village council was approached by solicitors for
his mother claiming damages for the 'dangerous glass' they had fitted that
had caused injury to her son.

You can guess the response.

Best,

Paul ;-)
