If I was bigger than them and I could get away with it I'd give them a proper pasting (and I do mean "proper"). Then call the police.

My garage got burgled last year and I had, basically, every single thing that I have worked for and care about stolen. They even wrote "ha-ha" and a picture of a motorbike on the window. The sheer fury I feel toward these s I cannot express.

At our old house I caught a horrible, hoody chav in our back garden who was running away from the police, his girlfriend was at the locked side gate shouting "'It 'im Dwayne!!!" and he took a swing at me. Cue hoody getting a beating - I was a bit perturbed when a copper appeared climbing over the shed roof while said beating was occurring, but my fears were unfounded as the copper proceeded to give hoody even more of a beating. biggrin I bet that gave him a bigger lesson than the slapped wrist the magistrate probably gave him. I've still got the baseball cap I nicked off the chav somewhere.

years ago (prob 20!) a mate of mine had his very expensive stereo stolen form his car, few people know the stereo was in the car so after a bit of asking about he found out who the culprit was, followed him back to his house whereby the parents called the police, police arrived mate explained the situation. Copper pulled him to one side away from everyone else. we thought opps we're in trouble here. He came back a few minutes later. we asked what happened. Copper basically told him of no one see's anything, nothing they can do.(the scrote was well known to them). sure enough the guy got a rather large pasting a couple of days later

Oldstyle community policing.

I have found people in my old houses stable (used as spare wheel/exhaust and general junk storage) twice.

Once was a runaway/hitchhiker trying to get to London from Weymouth. Given blanket and bking + lecture and lift to station in the morning.

The other one was very interested in the contents, bit of handbags and he was evicted. Discussions were had to ensure he stayed away, mostly involving the fact that he had his mobile number on his van and if anything went missing the local scarp boys would find out he was pinching stuff from their turf.

Friend of mine had a rather expensive sound system setup stolen from one of his cars. Funnily enough he had, had a mobile mechanic up to his house the day before with some new apprentice. After some asking round, then a tip off of where the new apprentice lived he went looking. Found it all in the back of said scrotes car. Some how when retrieving the equipment from the car every window/panel/wing mirror/tyre got damaged. When the police turned up, they put a police aware sticker on the car and said it had to be moved in 7days or it would be scrapped.

I would take my trusty "tickling stick", a Fiat 500 drive shaft, thus



The perfect weight, length and easy to hold, plenty to do some damage and easy to wield


left one in a few strategic places along with a LED torch, and I would go and have a look, have done before but luckily been false alarms.

Many years ago, 30ish years in fact, while living abroad, I woke up to a torch shining in my face, in my apartment bedroom. I just jumped up and gave chase, it was a ground floor apartment and I was out through the door down the communal gardens and on the street 200 yds from my apartment before I even realised where I was or what I was doing. Didn't catch the scrote, and my feet hurt like hell walking back to my place, thank god I wear skiddies to bed.

Very not PH but I'd probably cry like a girl, try and hide, and hope SWMBO was nearby to beat the crap out of them.
