So I get a phone call at 2:30am from my boss, he just had the cops knock on his door saying they caught a guy in his car. They car had been locked in the repair shop but this jack off smashed a rear shop door window and drove off in the car. The problem is the alarm never went off! The reason this ass hat got caught was because he decided to piss in a parking lot and thankfully the boys in blue saw him and went to investigate. He jumped in the car and tore off, well 4 miles later the cops get him and he admits he stole the car from our shop. It's our understanding the guys is drunk so he's got B&E, GTA, DUI, fleeing and eluding, most likely speeding and wreckless driving and probably public indecency. I wonder what kind of slap on the wrist he'll get.

So I get to the shop about 10 minutes after my phone call and talk to the cops and start cleaning up. Now a friend has asked if I get paid extra for showing up to do that at which point I had to remind her that MY livelihood is in the shop too. I asked her if she could sleep not knowing if her tens of thousands of dollars in tools were there. At that point she understood. So an hour later we determine the only thing missing is his car and we've got everything cleaned up and have the window replaced.

We've had a few break ins over the years and it just pisses you off more and more each time.

I've always thought that if we do like they do in some of the Mid-East countries, chopping off your hand, that theft would go down dramatically. You don't see a lot of folks around with both hands missing. They seem to learn from their mistakes.

I don't think we need to go that far. In this instance, to sort of make the punishment fit the crime, I think they should let 2Loud4You whack him about the head and shoulders for five minutes with a medium sized torque wrench. Then, let the CJ system have their shot at him.
 
If we chopped his hand off, the liberals would make him a martyr, he would be come a celebrity and he would get rich.

Remember the American kid in Indonesia who was caned for vandalism? Everyone came to his defense and we decried how barbaric the Indonesians were. Seems to me that they do not have too much problem with public vandalism. We should be taking a few notes from them on how to do things. When we start doing something that actually deters crime, then we can tell others how to do it.
 
After haveing lost a fortune to thieves over the years I deeply belive they should be exicuted the FIRST time! Now, I know many if not most other people abhore that as extream. I would compromise somewhat and go along with the idea of takeing all their possesions, (after repayment of what is stolen), stacking it in a pile and torching it in front of them. Hurts, doesnt it? Another possibility is old bibical law where the bible said, "If a theif be caught he will be made to restore seven fold." Untill we get serious and do this, it will go on forever. It wouldnt stop then either, but I belive it would drasticly cut it down!
What I really, really hate, is the public attitude and law enforcement passiviness towards thiefs. Insurance is part of the attitude. Also modern day easy liveing. I am 68 years old and well remember working my ass off in the fields for 35 cents a hour. In those days us kids would get bloody noses over 10 cents if another kid tried tried to cheat us.
Drugs of course probley accounts for maybe 75 percent or more of thefts. Time to exicute them too! What is it going to be like shortly with the youth when they see TRILLIONS bantied about in Obamas counterfit stymilas? When they see the treasurey head selected after it is prooven he is a tax cheat? After seeing people get off lightly with stealing millions? Its long past time to get tough!

Naw man torque wrenches are expensive and calibrated...but my 48 oz. dead blow hammer would work well.
 
I found his mugshot online and instead of grand theft auto he's charged with theft by taking. What the heck?!

Nothing worse than a thief.

My fiance has a couple of brothers who have drug habits and will !AND HAVE! stolen compressors, automotive power tools etc. from their OWN PARENTS!

With all the drums, guitars, amps, and guns in my place, it's been made very clear to them to not even ask to come over. They don't know what I have at home and that's to continue. They also know my feelings about thieves and have proof (of which I won't elaborate) that if one attempts to steal from me or any folks who're important to me, it'll quickly be made very obvious that a grievous error in choice of victim has been made.

Nothing worse than a thief.
 
A long long time ago (about 5 years...) after I enlisted but was waiting to leave for BMT, I worked in a video store for some cash. A former employee was suspected of stealing. She would come in and rummage through the new DVDs and leave a good 10 or 15 minutes later with no purchase. Her bag would look suspiciously larger though, and the sound of stickers being pulled could be heard. (At that time, the theft alarm thingy only picked up stickers put on the outside of merchandise, which she knew. Take off the stickers and you wouldn't beep)

I guess she had been in three times within a week and finally my bosses caught on. So one Friday evening I come into work and one of the managers came rushing over to me. She asked me to pretend to be doing something in the store and keep an eye on her. You see, the policy was unless you SEE the person stealing, you can't so anything. Even if you see them all you could do was call the cops.

ANYWAY... using my super sneaky skills (the mirrors mounted on the ceilings...) I soon caught her stealing and had the manager call the cops. She remained in the store for a few minutes and started heading out.

Well.. she got about 10 steps out the door before she was met by the police officer and his K9. The officer and dog escorted her back into the store and had her empty her bag. He found about $120 worth of merchandise. She made the mistake of reaching into her purse for whatever reason.. the dog let her know this was not an okay thing to do. He scared the living daylights out of her!

As she was being cuffed, she looked at the manager (her former boss) and said through tearful eyes "Please don't let them take me!" Yeah, they took her way.

It sure felt good catching the thief.
 
Most thiefs are dumber than a stump. Years ago I was a lockheed guard. It was/is a huge factory. One holiday night only a floor waxing crew, me and a fire captain was in the plant. I had just done my rounds when I got a call from the fire captain to meet him in a area by a coke machine. The machine was broken into, and I had been there about a half hour prior and it was okay. The crew was the only people in the plant. I had keys for everything, so figured I would check out the janitor closets on every floor. I hit with the 1st try. Found the change bin, bar they used to break in with and a garbage bag full of cold pops!
Rest of the story:
About a night or two later on my night off, I and my ex wife pulled up to a supermarket and I saw the guy who got fired with another guy harassing women going in and out the market, they were drunk and or high. I mentioned to the wife I had busted him the other night and he was fired. About that time another woman came out, they insulted her and she ran out starting to cry. I had been cruiseing for a parking spot, but that was too much, I stopped in the driveway and got out, they or he, reconised me and hopped into a open MG roadster. I got back in my car and pulled behind them, they threw a beer bottle at me. My wife was just changing a runney diaper on our baby, took it and threw it on the pair! They scratched out! About a month or two after that, I read where he was murdered, probley in a bad drug deal.

Sorry to hear of the break in but glad they didn't get all your tools.
Maybe you need to build one of those tiger pit traps.

Hmmm, I like that idea. Actually the boss is a retired Lt. Col who was a Ranger instructor at one point, maybe he knows of some good boobie traps.

A friend's Army surplus store was burglarized. The burglars got in through the ductwork in the ceiling. After that he soldered fish hooks in the ductwork right above the grating the theif entered through.
