I should have shot them!!
Over the last 2 nights my street has seen 2 stolen trucks ( both from the same house). This morning at 2:45 my alarm goes off, i look outside to see a couple guys f ing with my truck. So i grab the .40 and run outside all of them got away as soon as i got up to the truck. there were 4-6 guys running down the street, I would also like to note these gus must be track stars cause they were fast. plus i am in nothing but boxers so the 12* temps slowed me down.
The damage
1 kicked in rear window
1 broken pass door lock
1 stolen camera
1 plan to move

Don't you just hate thieves? Sorry they ripped you off and glad they didn't get your truck.
I've had one break in attempt. Two in the morning and my dog is growling at the front window (she was inside with us). I peek out and there's this Katrina with his face pressed up against the driver's window. I just quietly opened the front door and let Dallas out. Eighty pounds of pissed off, doesn't like anyone but my family Rottweiller/Lab mix chased him all the way down the street and around the corner. Biting, growling and frothing the whole way.
He hasn't been back.

Bang, bang, thief dead and no more problem.

Yep, been watching intently. The only snag he has is the property he was protecting wasn't his but his neighbor's. They still haven't charged him yet though and I don't think they will.

Yeah, I know and I think that's great, but sadly enough, most other places in the US, you can hardly use deadly force to protect you life.

Your a better person than I am, I would have shot at them from the window. But since I dont own a gun yet Id just let my redbone coon hound and doberman out on em, redbone is about 85 and the doberman is around 115. Where I live Id prolly get in some trouble for it, but I really hate people messing with my stuff.

FL did the same thing -- guys finally had enough of getting in trouble for protecting their or their neighbors' evacuated and/or damaged homes from looters. My Dad has enough heat in his place to protect the whole block, and had to once or twice in the last couple years.

1. You don't have to give a second thought to shooting someone trying to steal your truck.
2. You don't have to worry about 12*
If you don't want to come to Texas then get the dog (preferably mean). I haven't seen too many people that could outrun a good dog.
