Quoted from Bud:I am sick and tired of thieves. They are everywhere and not a single jurisdiction/community in America does much about it. I would like it if thieves got one hand cut off for the first offense. One would have to be truly desperate to gamble a limb.
Not to derail this thread, but in my life I’ve had 2 vehicles stolen, a new enclosed trailer full of construction material, an outside air conditioning unit, copper gutters, firearms, computers, tools and bikes. None of this even counts the money from deals being made that never made me whole.
Just the other day, someone crawled under my truck in my driveway and cut off the catalytic converter. Just got my truck out of the shop and it was $900. I’m sure the thief got $50-100 for the stolen part.Rant over, I’m just absolutely fed up with thieves.
When I was 19 in Detroit Michigan there was a brand new family owned mechanic shop down river. It was owned by an older guy and his younger son. (might be two sons)
In the first week they opened, thieves hit their business and stole tools.
They came back the next night, but the younger son was waiting. He said he pointed the rifle directly at the thieves face while the police came.
But he did not shoot.
I hope letting him live was not something he regretted…
I always thought he showed great restraint there.
