Good idea RELH, scare the F&*K outa them enough and they won't come back! lol
I caught up with a guy that broke into my little rental cabin when i first moved to Chester some 30+ years ago. I was a bit more of a physical specimen then than i am now if you can imagine. Anyway, i knew this kids Dad, the kid was 16-17, i knew were his Dad was and went and told him i had a plan if it was OK with him. He agreed!
So i knocked on their door, the kid was home alone, and when the kid answered/opened the door, his eye's got big around as paper plates. Mikie just backed away all the way across the living room and climbed up the back of the couch leaning against the far wall. I slowly followed him in saying something like this.
"Oh, Hi Mikie, how you doing? Hey did you know that word has gotten around town that you're the guy who broke into my Cabin and stole my stuff? Yep, they say it was you and i guess they were right but now i got a problem. I'm not exactly sure how i can off you and get rid of the body, should i just do you here and risk someone seeing me load you up or should we just take a little ride and i'll do you up the river someplace? What do you think is best in this case Mikie?
It went on like that for another 5-10 minutes and i don't know if i ever saw a kid so scared. Far as i know, he never stole anything again in his life. lol
