If anyone tried that down here in Texas, they’d wind up eating a lead sandwich.
Being a NY "yankee" that lives here in the great Lone Star State... I'd make use of a little NY "justice" myself... making use of a Louisville Slugger baseball bat. Any/all perps I caught doing such a thing to my auto would get it in both knees... so the next time said perp goes out on a vandalism spree, he'd have to be doing it from a wheelchair.
I was just thinking that myself. In fact, if I was that guy, I would fix the car, park it in the same spot and spend a few nights in the bushes with my shotgun.
