After 15 burglaries over three months, a California hardware store owner took the law into his own hands by catching the men he suspects of robbing him saying, 'This is my property; I’m going to defend it.'
Fed up after losing thousands of dollars worth of gardening equipment and spending money on surveillance cameras and new fencing, Darin Fowler decided the only option was a stake-out.
So on Friday night, Fowler waited up until the early hours of the morning and at 3.30 a.m. pulled his gun on the two unsuspecting men he caught taking equipment out of the store lot.
..
Law enforcement officials then searched Masterson's home and found equipment stolen from Fowler...
The spate of robberies began at the turn of the year and according to Fowler had left him feeling annoyed and defenseless.

Burglary isn’t “robbery.”

It's something seriously deficient with perps who robs the same place over and over. Did they really think (and I apply that term loosely) that nothing was going to happen to them?

So how long before the great state of California arrests the store owner for assaulting these poor, defenseless, cherubs with his evil assault weapon of mass destruction?

Average of more than once a week. The cops do much policing down there?

Named after lawmen/gunfighters (one fictional). Ironic.
