Cringe - No barbed wire...it might hurt the thieves, allotment shareholders told

"One thief later sprained his ankle after falling in the farm. The farmer was later fined for it."

So we are now considering theft and trespassing to be basic human rights?
This reminds me of another story I saw once: a couple goes on vacation, but a thief breaks into their house while they're gone. The thief gets stuck in the house and is forced to eat dog food until the people return. After they arrive, he successfully sues them for the mental trauma he had to endure while stuck.
Nice going, law!
