Police said a man who wired his van to give would-be thieves a 1,000-volt shock was acting within his rights, provided he put up a warning sign.

Ray Taylor, 61, told The Sun he’s fed up with people breaking into his van and as a way to deter potential thieves, he’s wired the back door handle to deliver a nasty shock.
