Sheesh.... Lots of chest-thumping he-men in this thread insisting that they'd shoot the bastich for stealing, messing up their vehicle, and having a mouth on him. I hope most of you who were in that crowd were just venting.
Just for the record, I don't at all mind BillCA's original question, nor his redirect suggesting that we think outside the box and focus, not on what we can't do, but on what we might be able to do to stop the guy. I have no problem with using a reasonable degree of force to stop the guy. I'm not sure about pepper spray (it can kill, although rarely), but tossing some ammonia soaked rags or other stuff the perp won't want to breathe into the vehicle sounds workable. I also think that documenting what he's doing is a good idea.
But what's wrong with deciding that stopping him isn't worth the cost and just claiming on your insurance? Why do so many people here seem to think that they have to prove something to a thief?
