they would be happy to pay you a visit! just dust off "old betsy" in the corner.

Probably a bit too far north for you, sorry man. By the time you got here the scenery would change your mind, just a nice relaxing place to live.

I am also unsure who 'old Betsy' is, hoping it is not some sort of old household pet which you had treated by a taxidermist. Not sure why you would bring that anyways.

Hahahaha Lawrence is such a $#!thole! Oddly enough, the only time I'd ever been there was to drop off a Porsche transaxle to a shop. Yes, there's a shop in Lawrence that fixes Porsches. Needless to say, it looked slightly out of place and I have no idea how all the cars weren't stolen already!

I'm glad I can leave my car unlocked outside my house in my plain vanilla town and at my work. Thankfully in the 10yrs I've been parking semi-rare sports cars outside they've never once been messed with. Prefer to park 'em in the garage just the same. Got a pretty serious security system on the house!

It baffles me why anyone would steal once of these cars.

In the words of Paul Giamatti from one of my favorite shooter movies Shoot 'Em Up, " Gun don't kill people, but they sure do help!".

Good article and relevant!

In all likelihood, the man will be charged with manslaughter. While I don't feel especially bad for the car thief, he was not presenting an "immediate threat of bodily harm or injury" to the car's owner and therefore, self-defense would be a tough sell in court. While there are some states that allow for the use of deadly force in the protection of property, Washington State is not one of them.

As a CCP holder, I make sure to familiarize myself with all deadly force laws in whichever state that I bring my weapon. (Especially Georgia!) I would recommend any of you that are talking "big" about killing a car thief do the same. You may end up being the one behind bars.

New type of booby-trap:

Tiny cameras covering all angles (and interior) that automatically capture pictures upon sensing bump/movement/broken glass; and upload them via 3G/4G networks to the Cloud so when you come out to your car being busted or stolen, images of the thieves are already sitting on your cloud server to show the cops... Hell, to show the world!

Invent that and you have a million dollar idea!

When days were a bit older we used to hang people in the public square for stealing a horse... Oh how I pine for the good 'ol days.

my passenger side was always the one to get smashed out of any of my cars, at least they were nice enough not to let me get rained on when i got back in my car

Always wanted to get something like this in case a car was stolen. Call 911 and have an officer pick you up and go for a ride along just to see the look on the faces of the baddies.

Man this sucks. I had my car broken into a few years back & the punks stole the system out of it. I hope they get the scum who did this.
