I have motion detector lights outside that work great. Very bright just on AA batteries and they last a long time. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I'd check the local and federal product tampering laws first. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

For real. It's only ever happened once before. Someone came into my garage after I had split from the wife and the house was vacant. Got me for a shop vice and a table mounted grinding wheel. Maybe $250 all told. It's a very weird feeling. Like, I get mad sometimes. I've been mad a lot. But this is a whole different level of anger. The kind that makes you smile. The kind that leads somewhere ugly. Man, it really pisses me off.
This is NY. Even antiques that only ever rest on a mantle are considered firearms, and I have little doubt that even a starter pistol would open me up for Discharging Within 500' of a Dwelling. Not to mention I'd probably be labeled as "suffering from an unstable mental state", and the Troopers would come for all my guns. No way.
I might have majored in chem, but I'm no Walter White. Poison is a women's weapon. This kid needs a whoopin'.
I ain't gonna shoot anybody. But an ass kicking must happen. It just has to. I don't wanna maim him. He just has to pay the price. A copay and a few hours at the ER will suffice. I ain't got no priors and I'm ready to cash it in. Alternatively, if I can scare him so bad he s#$%s his pants, I will consider the debt paid in full =p Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

These things never work out like you think they will. Never. Concentrate on getting lights and alarm doing their job and less on revenge. You don't want to piss somebody off so much that they target you in a never ending jihad where they're out to get you and you're worried all the time. Real life is not like a TV show where it's all cleaned up nicely in 30min. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Satisfying as that might prove to be, what's the penalty for assault? Getting back at a thief is not a valid defense. Do you want to go to jail and leave your son in the care of someone else? No two-bit crook is worth the price you may pay. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

C'mon, the both of you. I'm trying to get fired up here and you're being all reasonable =p It's a punk kid. Of the 5 who I think it could be, I know each and every one of their parents / guardians. I ain't gonna maim 'em. I was about to say it wasn't even assault, but I guess this thread provided the "intent" portion that would make it so. But I have no priors, so there's that =p Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | Like I said, revenge is never what you think it's going to be. I don't like pissing off people who know where I live. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
