His point is that much property is insured and therefore "recoverable by other means" in a sense. One might face charges for protecting property in that case. I'm not claiming he is absolutely right, just that one needs to be very, very sure before dropping the hammer on someone else (even if he is a "bad guy") for stealing - without his expressing violent intent toward any person.
Good point... however...
Do I send the bill for the decuctable to the BG?
Do I send a bill to the BG for the difference between my old rate, and my new rate?
What happens to the property that I've lost that can't be replaced because they're "one-of-a-kind" or they simply don't make them any more?
How much value I place on my Grandmother's old photo album? And should I send a bill to the BG for that? After all, he destroyed them because they meant nothing to him!
Do I also get to send the bill for my car rental to the BG because he stole my truck?
This is giving the BG's more a less a cartblanche license to steal and telling me that it's ok that they take what I've worked hard for, and they can just come and take it away from me in a matter of minutes or hours.
Something just ain't rite.
My tools were replaceable by insurance, sure, my truck was recovered... and never properly repaired because they ran and jumped over curbs, ditches and more curbs at a high rate of speed and the tires were flattened by tire stakes and tore wiring and fuel lines apart just to name a few things... and the BG just got a slap on the wrist because he turned informant and got a deal.
Something just ain't rite.
They come after my stuff again, they'd better run quick!

On the pets... +1BobCat wrote:...
As far as pets - my screen name comes from the two stuffed bobcats in my closet. Hunting/killing my furry family, in their own yard, is a fatal error. My cats are not my children, but I do consider them family.
I didn't write the following, but it is worth passing along to those who treasure their pets:
------------------------------------------------------------------
To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About Our Pets:
1. They live here. You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. (That's why they call it "fur"niture).
3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
4. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.
----------------------------------------------------------------
And, I might add, does want to borrow my truck, raise my insurance rates, or need college tuition paid for.
