I think that's the way it should be...... asshole comes on your property to steal or do harm, shoot them. Unfortunately other more "liberal" states will actually make life miserable for the property owner in that situation.

just make sure the douchebags look like they were trying to assault you with a tool or something, then the shooting is justifiable.

I thought that is what we call a "planted item?"
But officer, he had a crowbar, see...

I was one of the guys who got his wheels stolen in huntington, long island and I wasn't going to say anything until I knew those f-ing thieves were caught, but a cop came to my house a couple weeks ago looking for more info to make an arrest. He actually told me these guys were going to go to jail for a long time. I hope any other car thieves see this as a lesson and learn to start making money the right way like the rest of us. If any other thief comes to steal my wheels and he won't live to see another day. Justice has been served today gentlemen!

Doesn't the 370z come with wheel locks? Mine has them. Are these locks insufficient?

Its good to know that atleast this group of scumbags is now behind bars though...

It's such a bummer that there are people out there that do crap like this. Glad they were caught!

The Nissan lock keys are generic and easy to come by, better than nothing but not 100% protection.

They will get busted not only for steeling the rims but the many thousands spent on repairs after they drop the car to the ground after snatching your wheels.

I've experienced auto theft and vandalism in the past, and as angry as I've been about it, I've never been angry enough to actually take someone's life over it.

As far as the 'liberal' states you reference, they only make it miserable for you if you kill someone for attempting to steal your stuff.

Punishment does not fit the crime, imo. But that's the South for you.
