Wherever the military forces me to live.

Whenever outside contractors ask where I'd relocate to work for them: "anywhere but California and New York".

Illinois is quickly joining their ranks....

What are you even talking about??? It just makes a loud noise?

Yes and a flash.

Its a shotgun shell without the projectiles, a blank.

You have cameras now. Time to put out the bait bikes.

I installed a similar "lock" to the back of my business. Years ago a theif broke in through the attic and fell through the ceiling. When the alarm went off, he ran to the back, slid that board out of the brackets and ran. When me and the cops showed up, I saw fresh blood on the 2x4. He apparently cut his hand while breaking into the attic. They took a sample and put it in CODUS. One year later he was arrested for fraud and his DNA matched the blood in my store.

I never got retribution but at least I got closure. He was a 20 something local with a bad drug habit.

I meant you knew that from breaking into garages yourself. I was kidding of course.

You dont like living in this Country we get it.When is your Court date.

Illinois is lost. This state and city are done. Especially with the Safe-T act. ( HB 3653). Thanks to the hug a thug leaders and their supporters.

(They really believe this is going to help. Wackity schmackity doo.)

Move here to Chicago, criminals will love you!

That’s a big part of the problem right there. The military generally isn’t going to locate you in sweet spots with high quality of life.

The worst thing I worry about where I live is people walking their dogs and letting them piss in my yard. Puts dead spots in my otherwise pristine lawn.

Could be much worse I guess

Waiting for this to end with OP and his game reunited. Hope they get that warrant ASAP and make this right.

When I lived in Sandy Hook Ct. in the original School House, I went to the store and came back. 30 mins tops. All my tools were stolen, stereo, and credit cards. Cop said don't tell insurance what was stolen for a few days. You will discover more. He also said you live right where there are 3 ways to escape via a car. The safest is on a dead end street. Made sense to me. Insurance paid. Not by check, but by the ACTUAL EXACT tools and stereo from and insurance warehouse. So much crap is stolen, this insurance Co. bought in bulk to save $. Tools and Stereos were obvious targets for fencing. We humans can be pretty pathetic to each other sometimes.

The punishment seems very light. How about a good caning as an alternative or maybe in addition to?

I am not sure what the law is on things that are stolen, but if the thief is positively identified and ANYTHING is missing that should be returned and ANYTHING is damaged as a result of the crime, the thief should have to pay for the items that were not returned as well as pay for any damage to the stolen items, no matter how minor that damage might be, to the satisfaction of the orignal owner with paperwork from that owner to prove the monetary damages. There could be other damages besides just the stolen items. Perhaps the garage door was damaged or a window was broken (for instance). That is just my thoughts. The thief should be punished for the crime by a monetary award to the person that he stole from as well as whatever the law states is the punishment for the crime. The thief was caught so he should have to make restitution for the crime. Perhaps things like this will take a lawsuit where the thief is sued for monetary damages.

Doesn’t even matter if it’s a blank or a live round shotgun shell. It’s not lethal and unlikely it will even harm someone unless they were right up on it.
The way projectiles work the gas pressure builds up in the barrel of a firearm propelling it down the barrel. Without a barrel it’s just going to make a small explosion (like in this video).
Because the round isn’t in a chamber a lot of the powder doesn’t even ignite and just goes flying with everything else (wadding, shot etc.)
These things are meant to be trip alarms, not bootstraps.
Basically a scenario like your camping or on a hunting trip and want to set a perimeter around your camp in case of a bear or something along those lines.

Not the first time ... what about those who break in and get injured and sue you?
World is a stupid place, hope the OP gets his game back !

Not always the case. My nephew is up at JBLM outside Tacoma. Absolutely loves it up there. He's camping and/or hunting pretty much every weekend. When he comes home to visit he brings us all kinds of great meats.

A buddy of mine who was a marine for 21 years was stationed in Tokyo for a number of years(even had an R32 Skyline as his daily driver), then after that was stationed in Hawai'i for a while as well. Then, they transferred him to San Diego for his last few years of service before he retired. Sounds pretty sweet to me!

That should easily be defeated in court, the thief damaged the victim's property and created a hazard for himself. Photos of the site when he broke in and entered showing sharp metal edges or other materials as a result of him breaking in. I believe people are stupid enough to try that before a judge.

Of course there are exceptions to every general rule.

Vegas Police are doing it now. Look at the cruiser near the doors to the store.....

Who parks their bike in a parking stall in the middle of a parking lot and not near the entrance of the business they might be frequenting? Whomever gets busted for this, if it's to good to be true...

Their is a Youtube channel that did that.. the bike was rigid to fall apart or explode.
One of the worst was having a moving truck that had manure in the back... The guys closed
the doors on the victims and drove around... nothing like slip sliding around in cow poop.

Not victims if they planned on stealing from the back of the truck.

Whoever falls for this one, is one stupid thief........

He's probably from California. We protect and care about our criminals

I agree. They would be better off, having a giant box, propped up with a stick and a string tied to the stick with a $100 bill under it.

Except it's not illegal to pounce on money found lying around...

They could use drugs instead and then charge them with possession, maybe!

I would be the idiot arrested for trying to move it out of the way and putting it over by the cart return.

Slick! They didn't even notice.

Canadian police chase !

Lol that's about it bud

Reminds me of 1:15.

lets say you're paying $500 more per year, will you keep the insurance for 5 years? does the fence job cost more than 2500?

Don't run...........you'll only die tired.....NUFF SAID

I just can't resist responding to this idea. Criminals are stupid in the first place, normally desperate because they are not smart enough to live a normal life like regular people and possibly angry because of their predicament. If they are stupid enough to attempt a crime and get hurt in the process, that goes under dumb crook news that everyone will laugh about. In my mind, there is no way a thief gets compensated for doing stupid stuff that gets them injured when they trespass on the owners property and stole items or attempted to steal items that did not belong to them while in the act of committing a crime. A video of the criminal getting injured during the process just increases the viral level of the news. Karma can be bad stuff...

Can a burglar sue for injury USA?
The short answer is yes, it is possible to sue for almost anything, though many claims will be dismissed as frivolous and may cost those attempting to litigate the issue for both their own court costs and the costs of those they intended to sue.

Didn't say they would win , however should you google it...
Yes a criminal in the USA has sued and won ...
Go figure

Mind-boggling and scary at the same time

There are some unbelievable cases of burglars actually attempting to sue homeowners, though in most of those cases, the lawsuit, for understandable reasons, fails. However, there is one negligence lawsuit against the property managers of a school that did go in favor of the would-be thief. In the 1980s, in California, 18-year-old Rick Earl Bodine climbed to the roof of a high school gymnasium to steal a light from on top of the building. Having stolen one, he moved to steal another when he fell through the skylight, landing in the building and becoming a mute, quadriplegic in the process. He sued the school and was awarded $260,000 upfront and an additional $1200 for the remainder of his life.

I guess there are exceptions and I am sorry that the stupid criminal was severely injured. However, it still falls under dumb crook news and this criminal is really lucky that he did not have people with opinions like mine as the judge and jury. He would rot in jail while he got treatment for his injuries.

No disagreement here... criminals have more rights than victims...

Anyone else just waiting to hear the story about OP getting his game back? How about we knock off the keyboard vigilante, justice system sucks, half the states suck, violent wet dreams, and all around crazy-facebook-uncle posting.

That’s one way to look at it. Another way is that thievery would be less of an issue with a lot less repeat offenders if the consequences were more severe. Like with any crime, the punishment has to be a deterrent. And if that fails, it should be severe enough that the criminal never does it again. And if that doesn’t work, society should be assured that the offender never sees the light of day again.
