Old Guy: I completely agree with you, dude. Thieves are the scum of the Earth and deserve to be shot on site. My friend had this happen too, and the things we learned from that experience were 1. They almost always come back, given the right 'bait' 2. Someone HAD TO KNOW that those parts were in there and 3. It could even be someone you know. My friend and I camped out all night across the street from his garage, left some nice stuff in front of the garage, and just waited for the bastages to show up again. Sure enough, they showed, and so did we with slingshots & some other choice weapons!!! They ran so fast and panicked that they stumbled into things, cutting up their legs as they ran into the woods. Wasn't too hard for police to identify them, as they were the only kids walking around the neighborhood at 2am dressed in black outfits with the legs torn.
