Wrestled a few 4d batteries 6' in the air to drop down into a recess on a tractor a few times.
old dozer I bought has an 8-d battery, if it dies, I'll gather up some group 31's instead.

Connoisseurs of crack, angel dust etc would likely bolt out with it under their arm when in need

Batteries never had handles until a few years ago.

It’s good of them to provide you with something to keep your hands warm on while you find the right battery for your car, especially in these colder temperatures at the moment.

I was in Machine Mart on Monday and noticed anything remotely portable or on wheels had security cables on, they must have used miles of the stuff.

Any petrol/high value item has to be secured. It's a disciplinary offence if one is left unlocked.

Looks like halfords, surprised they need such security the ones I've been in have narrow checkouts at the door. Makes you feel guilty walking out without buying something.

Our local Halfords has checkouts nowhere near the door for some reason.
Just a desk you walk up to, pay, then walk away from whence you came...

I would think you could sell them to the reloading people.
