Here’s a task for you Steve. Shoot the guy dead that’s stealing your wife’s windshield wipers as it’s parked in the driveway. Lemme know how you make out

Police do not even investigate. They just take the information over the phone, log the information and go about their day.

Insurance adjuster said they will wait 20 days to see if it is recovered (very unlikely) and if so they will have it inspected and repaired as needed, otherwise after 20 days I will be paid market value for it.

The way I see it is if the thieves did it, then it has been done before. Maybe call some people (whoever they are) and figure out how it was done for further prevention.

A follow up to your story you copied


A Milton, Ont. man formerly accused of killing a home intruder earlier this year no longer faces a charge of second-degree murder.

On Monday, the Crown withdrew the charge against Ali Mian, 21, in a Milton courtroom, Ontario's Ministry of the Attorney General confirmed to CBC Toronto.

It's not the end of the World. Live and Learn.

You've still got the ScatPack to drive and you'll get some insurance money for the Vette, less your cost in the wheels.

Your neighborhood you just moved to looked like a good one. Are you on a busy street?

And YES, reporgram your garage door openers quickly.

Hey Flex - sorry about losing the vette. Was it an auto? I think it was. Gotta get the stick! Thieves don't comprehend the stick! I'd love to know how the hell they got it started though. I think a traditional ignition (with a key that turns in the barrel) is superior to all this push button bs.

As they should. He shouldn’t have been charged to start with.

Wow, that is a shame. Do you have available garage space to keep all of your vehicles inside?

They never outlined wipers as an exception



Under Section 776.012, Florida Statutes (Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” Law), a person is justified in using deadly force (and does not have a duty to retreat) if he or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony or to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another.

Wow Flex, sorry to hear.

Won't make you feel any better, but good luck going down the recovery road, wherever it leads.

In Texas you can shoot someone stealing your neighbors wipers.

Well sure, everybody knows that. Even the politicians know that. But that's not what they want.

The problem is that the political will is in the opposite direction: The law favors crime, chaos, and violence and is against the peace-loving.

The only thing worse than no law, is law that only works in one direction -- and that's where we are.
