What would you do?

[BWClark]

Maybe advertise on craigslist (and whatever other popular free mediums are available) his address as a place for sale/to rent...

But make it a perfect advertisement for thieves. Post full address, with lots of pictures of "the interior" of "his" house. Make sure you include pictures of the 52" plasma, the new iMac, nice stereo, anything desirable and acquirable. Mention that people will be unable to view it during certain hours because he will be out working, and nobody will be at the house. He will also be away on certain weekends. Oh, and for all those that keep asking about security alarms; for the last time, no, there isn't one.

This would probably work pretty well where I'm from in New Zealand...

Edit: Really I'm just a +1 on the cops route...

WWSDD??

Anal.

Which the bastards would probably get in prison. Hence, call the cops. And hope. Just don't go all Internet Tough Guy on them. Then you might be the one getting the unsolicited prison anal.

this thread is highly entertaining... but I'm willing to bet that in a my word v. your word situation such as this... bad dude is getting a warning like,  :"I'll be keeping an eye on you.  Make sure you're not involved in anything like this ever again."  EOS.

That's no reason not to call the cops but keeping reality "real" sometimes means realizing that in this world there is no absolute justice. 

Your best bet is to take measures to make sure that it doesn't happen to you again.

The cops are clearly overwhelmed(issuing speeding tickets), so it's our responsiblity to make the crooks think twice.

That's right it's our duty as Americans to help the cops.

I tell you what I'd do.
1) Throw out the idea of the police catching them, even if they did, they probably wouldn't be able to find enough supporting evidence. My experience with cops has been unless the perp leaves a note, signed and dated in triplicate, with witnesses, they aren't going to be able to do a damn thing.
2) I'd start tailing the guy, especially on the weekends, when he might meet up with his buddies.
3) Find out where they live.
4) Catch up with them one at a time, preferably in a dark ally, smash them with a baton(I'd even do it from the back, that's right I'd sneakup AND use a weapon). Take anything they had on them.
5) I'd repeat it every couple of months for as long as I knew where they lived, I'd wait a bit let them start relaxing again, then BAM! It happens again, call it forced karma.
6) I would also be tempted to "find" them in public places and randomly hose them down with pepper spray. I got all sorts of stuff. Make them live a terrified paranoid existence.  Facking rat bastards deserve no better.



ps this stuff only works if the police are NOT notified, as soon as the po knows your connection you'd become suspect #1 if the perp had the nerve to make a report.


pss Dickheads that travel and attack in groups are the reason I started carrying a kubaton that sprays pepperspray, I can slow down one or two of them and give myself time to dispatch the others.

PSSSS PS stands for post scriptum or post script, so if you want to ps a ps, then it's pps, ppps, and pppps. You may now smear poo on my car. I know I am an ass, and I'm sorry. I wish I could help it. [end threadjack] Sorry [slowly backs out of room]. So Sorry.........         _sorry

Just call the cops. After that, forgive them. Revenge just shortens your life. Think long term, not short term. Doing crap to them will only make you feel better for a little bit.

I think I may be in the wrong crowd

I feel like my life is shorter now for some reason...

Forgive who?  The cops?      

I suppose you are right.  Just because they are too busy writing speeding tickets and eating donuts to deal with real criminals is no reason to hate them.

Bah! Whatever..... Excuse me for being anal (a.k.a. "particular").   

[Got Duc]

Don't know where you live but.

Call the cops!

Like said before it is their job.

If you go after this person you might do more to him than they did to you. If this happens then you are going to jail.

Three on one is called gang assault where I live.

Which is a very serious charge.

Did the Police take pictures of your injuries?

  Hilarious! I'll back you up jclin!  PPS not PSS! Come back into the room, and hold that head up high.

Best advice yet! Not the most entertaining idea to fantasize about, but the best advice!

I just had flashbacks to my high school English teacher and freaked out.  Thank you for the correction.
