It is my wet dream to catch someone in the act of trying to steal or vandalize my car.
I had some issues years ago and made police reports EVERY time it happened.
I told them I know it is petty that you have to come out here for almost nothing but I wanted the paper trail. I'm sure it was kids or younger people. I had eggs, a bb gun once, marshmallows and hot chocolate powder mix on the hood.
I was harassed repeatedly for a long time...I needed this to be fact so if and when I ever snapped...I could at least show a history.
I told one of the cops I had a plan that would be good but keep me put of jail.
If I caught them in the act, I would be filming (old camcorder days) and I would hold them at gunpoint and make them strip naked and tie them to the roof of my conversion van and drive them to the police station.
He didn't seem to have an issue with it. I often get a negative attitude when I make comments to police in these situations.
If I don't make it funny or odd, I would simply shoot them or put their head through my own windshield, which is much worse.
I sat several nights parked on the street with video camera, pistol, and cell phone.
Nothing ever happened and I moved soon after.
