I can vouch for this being a possibility too but not on a VN model, not possible.

I have anger problems. So i would probably go untill there dead. No joke.

My dad use2 be a cop. He said he got many calls from guys saying i caught a guy breaking into my car can you come get him so they would go to the house and the guys beaten up pretty good. Dad said di you beat him up mate guy said NAH!!! found him like that. Dad said aahhhh ok no worries and take him ahahaha

[ThoR_]

Actually come to think of it. Do what the guy did in Man Of Fire or Man On Fire. tie his hands to the steering wheel and get the cigarette lighter and burn his fingers

[RG]

Hurt them, hurt them good. :jab: I'm not a nice person when it comes to people touching my car. :SaiyanSmi

My mates VL`s immobiliser didnt work. When the door looked like it was looked it wasnt. It didnt lock. And when you got in u didnt need a key you could just push ur finger on the key hole n turn the car on LMFAO!

belt the living **** into them, nice and simple. saw someone in my backyard after work a few weeks ago's, halfway over the fence, dog had his calf. he got away in the end but with alot less blood

[hanky]

Was working late one night and heard my car alarm go off, which was parked at bottom of car park out of view from main road. Ran out to car park from front door to find someone running towards us carrying my cd wallet and track suit jacket. When he saw us he dropped his loot and tried to dodge us but the two of us rounded him up.
As we walked him back to the car he denied any wrongdoing saying he found them on the floor. A third co worker joined us carrying a broom as his weapon! As we approached the car the driver's door was ajar, at that stage the thief elbowed my co worker and tried to make a run for it. For his efforts he copped a broomstick to the head so hard that it snapped in two. After that a maglite earned its purchase price, but after we threatened to take him into the workshop and turn on the circular saw he somehow found a burst of energy and made a dash across the main road into a waiting car(with 3 occupants) that sped off. Not sure what surprised us more, the fact that he could still move or that his "friends" were watching him get flogged.
Anyhow, someone must have called the police as they arrived five minutes later saying they were responding to an assault report. After explaining what happened the police wanted to see the car and then asked why there was no damage to the lock. I explained that a cortina could be unlocked with a paddle pop stick and one of the officers agreed. We were politely informed that we were actually lucky the thief had gotten away otherwise we would have been charged with assault, while the thief would've been charged with theft, if we could prove he actually broke into the car and stole something.
At the time we were young enough to let our emotions get the better of us, but if we ended up with a criminal record it would have hurt us more than the thief.

a few years ago i heard noises outside, 2 males were breaking into xf i had. they out ran me but the scream from around the corner when my dog caught on of them sonded very painfull. also had same house (parents) broken into once when they were looking after my rottweiler. mum got home to find the dog asleep on the couch a trail of blood through the house out the back door and over side fence. the police did'nt seem too worried. bet they never went into a house that had the back door left open again.

[cupic]

What I would do is
illegal
imoral
or worst Ill sent to Mother in law over

LOLOLOLOL

shes sweet just dont tell her I told you so

[xf pano]

Large 1/2" breaker bar would help with the "re-education" of the thief. Then go for for a "spirited" drive with them tied up in the back of the van with the rest of the tool box. 60 - 70 kg of roller cab smackin you around would really drive home the message that stealing is wrong.

[Jock260]

i don't no what i would do as i am quite young (15), but i know what my dad would do/did, back in 1979 he had a 73 hq kingswood sl, 253 , 3 speed on the tree manual, gts rims all the good stuff etc. and he was on his way home from a footy game and he caught somebody just about to drive off with it, but they couldn't work the 3 speed on the tree manual, so he pulled him out of the car, and put his hand in the open door an slammed it, turned out he had four broken fingers, and also a broken nose, after my old man gave him a touch up, haha, we still have the car to this day, lol

[RegSpec]

See post on "do you study martial arts" _2:

[MITCHAY]

They will be punished let's leave it at that.

Good thing is that it isn't easy to steal my car, so I just have to worry about my CDs :P

[tel408]

out: Introduce him to a couple of friends of mine. Smith and Western

[punktured]

had my ed broken into in the front yard, all they took was some cheap sunnies and left about 3k worth of stuff in there :| ******* lucky about that one. but now, if i caught someone i'd tie em up and throw em in the back of the ute and take em for a joy ride

[AMT]

Bash'em put them in my boot, take them to my work and throw them into a full 12 tonne melter filled with 1500 deg molten metal and watch them explode with a big smile on my face...... :evil_laug

[TerritoryTurbo]

Well, a wooden baseball bat would come in handy...cos the metal ones make too much noise...

No other info needed... ;)

[eb91xr6]

i had things stolen out of my car but i didnt lock it as i went into my mates house for 10mins, i have a $1500 sound system but all they took was my smokes and asmuch change as they could grab out of my ash tray, it was just anoying, if i saw him/her or them i wouldnt have called the cops as they take too long i make the law,

[uranium_death]

Our legal system is ****...

People do stuff, and they get a sentence of 6 months.
For every $1000 of goods people steal, they should lose a finger.

[RavenLS1]

not much :the_finge

[steharz]

i caught a couple of 16 year olds not breaking into my car,but my house,i work in the business over my back fence and one of the woman i work with came to me and said she had seen a couple of guys jump my fence.
i went over and when i opened the front door the little bastards had smashed there way through my floor in the lounge{old wooden house on piles},i cornered the two of them and gave them a hiding,rang there parents and told them they had better come round real quick.long story short,these two young guys are now working in good jobs,they spent 6 weekends working for me to repay me for the damage they did to my house,we didnt involve the cops because i know what a record can do for your future.if i caught someone breaking into my car id do the same,some poeple dont understand anything except a couple of smacks in the head

[monkeydog]

I caught a girl trying to steal my sisters car at the station. Dad got out and confronted her and she started talking crap about how it was her car (she was off her head) and then ran across the road and nearly got hit.

The glovebox got emptied as well which was annoying because we lot the service books, and my dogs lead (second time it's been stolen from the car).

[ssb2005]

glad wrap them nude to a roadsign. its amazing what glad wrap can do

[red_hotxr6]

If i caught them in the act then i would call the police on my mobile, try to take a picture and give as much info as i could.I dont know if they are 'high" or strung out, if i confronted them god knows what could happen. The car is fully comprehensively insured, so for the sake of a few dollars and this being real life, let the police handle it and the insurance can fix any damage.

[tankclare]

I dunno wat i would do but it would be very painful for the offenders..Pitchfork would''t go astray or even the dog would help..mmm the possibilities.

I would hate for someone to break into my xf pano as i just finished installing my stereo, have a plastic bag full of gauges ready to be put in in the back, and i've only had my car for a few weeks now...

Seeing as im in a small country town with no cops actually based here...i can promise you the culprit would be at deaths door or at least not coming near any of my stuff ever again.

lol..cya

[steharz]

with the way the cops operate here ,they would not turn up for a car thief,not high enough on the priority list,and if they do go before a court the punishment does not reflect the damage they have done to the person that owns the car imo.
the way i see it,is if you think you can take someones property you had better be prepared to accept the consequences of doing that.

[WHIPLASH]

Well on the weekend i got to feel the pain of this, woke up to the sight of a chunk of concrete in my passanger seat, no drivers side window and a few items missing inside the car. The night before while cruizing i passed 14 cop cars in a matter of 2 KM and the school up the road was broken into but no reports or anything. The cops appeared out of no where when called and were looking over my car within 20 minutes of calling them. BLOODY annoying and if i find them well I personally would like to see them replace and pay for the window them selves. or a chunk of concrete to the head (punishment for the crime :hihi: ) but life goes on.

[Kenaz]

I'm pretty weak so if I caught someone I would probably just yell "Hey you" then hide behind a bush or something and call the cops.
