DETROIT (WWJ) - One Detroit business owner is taking matters into his own hands to make sure thieves leave his liquor store alone.
Steve Bahoura, who has owned the Van Dyke Liquor Market since the 90s, said he deals with several break-ins each year and hes tired of it.
Most recently, Bahoura said someone broke into his business, located near I-94 on the east side, in broad daylight.
They break through the back door at 9 oclock in the morning, he told WWJs Mike Campbell.
Bahoura said hes caught the crook on surveillance video and turned the footage over to the cops, but so far there havent been any arrests. So, hes personally offering reward money in hopes that somebody will turn the robber in to police.
Im willing to give a $2,000 cash reward to whoever turns him in for me, he said.
Until that man is caught, Bahoura said hes going to be sleeping in the store with his trusty shotgun, because theres no other way to protect his livelihood. Bahoura has two words for anyone whos thinking of robbing his store now: Watch out.
I dont want to shoot him but if somebody comes here, sure I will shoot him. Ill shoot him and I will kill him. If Ive got to shoot my gun, youre not going to believe it, these bullets will go all over his body. So next time, the people wont do that to anybody else, he said.

I think so.
While I don’t like playing race politics, I think in some situations you have to start with someone acceptable to the predominant racial population. This chief is doing things that no white police chief could ever do in Detroit like restarting the stop and frisk policy ended by Coleman Young and encouraging legally armed citizens.
Us? it was those wild ass Africans running around looting, stealing....
The Chaldeans, Copts, Marronites, etc tend to vote republican as well. Fortunately their population is growing in comparison to the muslims.
Use of a drop gun would be the next move...
But think of the potential collateral damage of a shotgun in a liquor store - who wants to mop the floor with good booze?
Crime goes down when criminals leave crime scenes in body bags.

He is in serious need of a webmaster because his page is a mess but he has good info.
Uh oh - against the law. Laying in wait. Oh wait, ‘Scuze me, that’s in the UK ... sorry.
For those who have not seen this video about Lance Thomas, LA Jeweler who refused to be robbed, a MUST SEE.....;

“...1 killed, 10 wounded...”
Slow weekend in Chit-Town.
They (cops) call them ‘Throw-downs’
He just gave the bad guy's family's attorney all the ammo he needs to send the store owner up for a very, very long time.
Protecting your store is not laying in wait. If they do not break in they will not be shot.
You sound like you would fit in at DU.
Zoning Board code violation notice and closure of storefront for using commercial property as a residence in 3...2...1...
You sound like you shoot from the hip before ascertaining all the facts - like maybe asking where I was coming from? Huh?
Uh, I support the Koreans and Americans of Korean extractions in that event. I had no part in “us”.
:: Ill shoot him and I will kill him. ::
DOJ Prosecutor: “Sounds like pre-meditated murder to me.”
don’t think so. the city has experienced a lot more defensive shootings and there hasn’t been a slew of stories of anyone being prosecuted for doing so.
Uh, that's nice.
YEP.
