If there vehicle is nearby, good time to flatten their tires so they have to buy new ones.
How long will it be before thieves see the value of swiping electric car batteries?
I would acquit anyone stopping thieves
Three times in a row I read the title in the new feed as “Cat Owner...”
Now that those cold blooded crooks know the man’s identity, they may attempt to retaliate against him. His identity and address should have been kept anonymous.
BWAAAA-HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!
“If you witness a crime we encourage you not to engage with the subjects, please call the police and we will be there to assist you in this situation as fast as we can”
When seconds matter, police are just minutes away!
When seconds count, police will arrive in mere minutes.

No
An interesting thought about gun fights and taking cover is that the cover one takes best be bullet proof. Even a 9 mm self defense round will pass through six layers of automotive grade sheet metal. The projectile may be deflected off course a little and lose most of its energy, but nonetheless if it strikes home it could cause serious injury.
The engine block, wheels/axles do offer protections.
Hiding behind a wood and/or sheet rock wall offers zero protection. Brick, cement and other hardened materials offer great protection.
I recommend those of you interested in self defense practice on an old junk car. Have a cardboard human size target crouching behind it, try to guess its location and fire away. See how many of your rounds penetrate the cardboard target. You will get some idea which weapons are most effective. My favorite is a 45.
Sheesh- they were just trying to change the fellas oil for him, and he goes and shoots at them?
“ One of them crouches behind a pickup truck, points a gun and cranks out two rounds but of course I already took cover. What did I do? I returned fire and they ran.”“
These brain dead monsters come to a car parts theft with a gun AND they use it. BAck when there was a death penalty in NYS, holdup men would bring unloaded or otherwise un fireable guns to the job on the off chance that an unintended discharge could have them in the electric chair in three months. SMH.
Fortunately the car owner was armed. That's a statistic the Left doesn't want anyone to see.
I’ve read that some catalytic converter theft teams have taken to posting an armed accomplice nearby, in the shadows. He’s there to deal with the car’s owner, should he show up.
So while you might have the impulse to grab a gun and confront the thieves, it’s best to at least call the cops first. And don’t go rushing out in the open.
If all criminals were killed before they could complete their crimes, there would be no crime.
This is a massive problem where I live in So Cal - two of my neighbors have had their catalytic converters stolen. They also steal the tailgates off of trucks - my husband - and across the street neighbor - had the tailgate stolen off of his Frontier - police would barely take a report, said it was SO common.
I believe these thieves should be shot on sight.
Oh, Puleeze! By the time the police arrive (if they even do for a non-violent crime,) your catalytic converter
is extracted, the damage to your vehicle is massive, and the perps are long gone.
..and once the police arrive, they will say that there is nothing to be done.
The fault is not necessarily that of the cops but that of the Soros DAs.
Last year the stepdaughter had a flat while in Charlotte and parked her car on the side of the Freeway Exit Ramp and had a friend pick her up because it was raining.
The next day she went to change the flat and when she started the car up found out that in that short time someone had stolen the Cat from her car.
Cost $1400.00 to replace it.
Takes less than 3 minutes to remove converter.
Takes police longer to arrive.
'As fast as we can' might be a couple days...
