It's like any other risk, you take steps to prevent things happening that are foreseeable but you can't eliminate the possibility of them happening. No point worrying unless you've taken zero precautions.
Do nothing Phil, you're right, no point worrying about it.
Where on earth was this? It sounds like an apocrophyl load of rubbish.I dont think it would.
For example..
There was a group of children from the same estate who regularly missed school for no particular reason.
The parents were told on numerous occasions that there would be trouble if it continued.
Of course, the parents ignored all the warnings.
Then, the school wrote to the parents telling them that if their child missed school again for no reason, the parent responsible would spend a week in Jail.
The next morning, all the children were at school and no-one went to jail.

My point was in relation to the whole exchange, never suggested any Liam Neeson vengance, just questioning if he would have the same attitude if it was his property that suffered 10-12K worth of damage, so I take you wouldn't be bothered either, as for me I'd be fuming and would like the scumbag to suffer, If I've parked my car and gone shopping and done nothing wrong, how do you suggest I learn from it, buy a lesser car? Don't shop?What do you want him to do? Are you picturing a "Liam Neeson like" hunt for vengeance across the rooftops of Leighton Buzzard? Crap happens sometimes. Move on and learn from it.. No point sitting there stewing in a puddle of your own frustration and need for vengeance.. Not for me anyway..

I'll just agree to disagree Phil, 10-12K is not a small thing to meAt the end of the day it's a car , a bit of metal that can be replaced - would it be annoying - yes , would I like him punished - yes , has anyone been harmed - no. Getting angry and fuming doesn't make a difference to the end result - doesn't change what has happened and won't change any punishment. Life goes on - no point worrying about the small things

So you are standing by the first tee Phil, ready to tee off. A guy walks past, pulls your driver out of your bag and runs off with it.
You'd think "It's only a piece of metal that can be replaced" and calmly proceed with your game???
I somehow don't think you would.
Stove his head in.
Stove his head in.
But why have we, yes WE, allowed this to happen in our society?
How does that make me any better than him ?
No one said it makes you better than him, but if you defending your property makes the scroat suffer and stops him doing it to someone else then yes, your violence in defending your property is more than acceptable, imo.How does that make me any better than him ?
Or is violence more acceptable compared to theft
