Pottery Chatroom Board

NANCY I remember the "attractive nuisance" from business school. When my FIL and my husband were building houses, we worried about that a lot. Lots of kids in the houses that were finished in the development, and tools, supplies, machinery for building, etc. that was hard to lock up. Nowadays I read about people getting into empty houses and stealing copper pipe, etc, and remember a couple of the older kids helping themselves to lumber to build a tree house. No great harm done at the time, but I wonder if one of those kids had got hurt nowadays, (fifty years later) would we have been sued?
