[Poohbah]

I would've moseyed on down, politely asked the lads if they needed some help, and then covered the little SOBs.

You know, your damned if you do, damned if you don't. Now, I don't know if I was fed a line here, but I asked my insurance guy what would happen if I caught some Adam Henry stealing my truck and I shot the tires out. Could I turn that into insurance. He said no, it would be considered willfull destruction of personal property. So I proceeded to ask him what would happen if I watched the perp drive away and he wrecks my rig. He says, we replace it, and your rates go up.

So, can't shoot the SOB, you'll goto jail. Can't prevent 'em from driving away with well palced shots, that's willfull destruction (and probably still get's you in jail for discharging your weapon and endangering the life of the poor misguided perp). Watch them take your earned property (and if they wreck it), your penalized with higher rates..

I wonder how much I can get a silencer for? That would give me the crucial time needed to just drive away myself with the perp in the backseat...dump their asses somewhere else.
