  i believe most of u must have encountered this before. locksmiths putting advertisement stickers all over your house and letterbox. these stickers are very hard to remove. even if u remove them, it will just keep coming back.

  I was looking for ONE of those stickers when I locked myself out of my room, where my hp, lappie, and money were inside.
  Had to wait and starve for 2 days before Dad came back.

  we shouldn't be focusing on removing the stickers, we should prevent the bloody locksmith from pasting them in the 1st place. this is an offense as this is consider vandalism and causing damage to people's property.

  Hi hi...Are you refering to my posting ? If you are, let me enlighten on why MP is to be informed.
  
  At the very first step, this is an act of vandalism and damage to public property ==> police case
  
  If you remove them,causing the paint to drop off , you also liable for the very offence as stated. ==> police case
  
  You go to the town council, only to realise inefficiency prevailed. ==>ensure employment
  
  So it is better to directly to your MP. They are paid SGD13,500+ to serve you. Moreover you are doing the duty of a considerate public. ==> well being
  
  Of course, letting the MP informed also ensure the respective town council be more on the ball. Also the neighbourhood police will be more alert of such vandalism. ==> ensure efficiency
  
  See, this has no political implication at all

  Cannot, I will advise you never to do that. They can counter sue you for making prank calls. Take note, making a nuisance in the public is an offence hor.

  You go buy a Security Level 4 Abloy Lock with 1cm shackle and lock your house grille.
  
  Then you call ALL the locksmiths who ever pasted on your premises.
  
  That's the best time you can scold them, "can't pick my lock but dare to advertise".
