I don't care if it's a cell phone, a wallet, or 5 year old rusted out rims in my back yard. It's still theft, it still doesn't belong to them. In one way or another I paid for it, they didn't. I will defend that.


Thank you very much. Those are my thoughts exactly. Where and why is now politcality correct to allow "our things" to be taken from us?

I am a new guy here and don't want to start off on the wrong foot, but this how I feel.

How many of you have had cars, tools, jewerly, gas from your vehicles, clothing, money and yes even guns stolen from you? These are items that you have worked to earn the money to buy or in some cases even inheirited from a family member. You follow the proper channels only to have, in my experiences, local law enforcement fill out a report so you can turn it into your insurance company where you HOPE to get enough money to possibly replace the item(s) and then sit and wait for the rate increase.

In this case it apparently turned into a personal threat in addition to theft of goods. But not taking some kind of action when you catch the thief is like letting them know it is okay for them to do what they are doing. In fact, they can wait a few weeks until you replace your items and come back for a repeat visit because you probably ain't gonna do nothing.

As far as shooting - maybe not depending on circumstance, but at least do "something" to hold or subdue them so they are stopped, st least for awhile, from their chosen career and you don't lose what is rightfully your property.
