I dunno, I wouldn't be unnecessarily harsh, I think when the urge takes you, you've just got to go with what's at hand.
Your list seems to be broken down into types of items Andy, rather than the contents of any particular citizen. At least I hope to God that's the case, if it's not, then it seems to me that there's a lot of school teachers and electricians out there who are finding their working days a little tedious. I can't speak for the Germans, but any man with a Mont Blanc up his tunnel should be kept a close eye on around the stationary cupboard, never mind the cutlery if he happened to be round your place for dinner.
I find the jewellers saw incident a little disturbing.
