It's
a Fuel's Paradise
We learn this week that the petrol crisis is a
global one, with fuel tanker strikes and pump protests occurring throughout
the world. Thankfully the situation in this country has not escalated
to the levels of places like Spain, Thailand and Malaysia. Security
has had to be increased in Madrid after an arson attack on a strike
breaking trucker left the driver with 75% burns, while in Malaysia up
to 2000 extra security staff have been drafted in to stop a public march
against rising fuel prices.
Closer to home, the fuel crisis has sparked more thefts of of petrol
and diesel and even, as we are informed by Gardien this week, a spate
of thefts of catalytic converters from cars parked outside peoples homes.
On a more positive note we report this week on more award winning companies.
Dedicated Micros HighVu Excel system has won the Product Innovation
of the Year 2008 category in the PSI Premier Awards, while Paxton Access
has won the PSI Premier Award for Access Control Manufacturer of the
Year 2008. Congratulations to both.

at Risk in Gardens
That's the message this week from Gardien, the online garden security

fitted to your car parked on the driveway.
