My Type-R was broken into last Sunday. I walked out of a store and saw the bastard in the passenger seat trying to steal my ECU. I yelled at him and he ran off. Thinking back, maybe I should've hid, call the cops and maybe have the guy arrested but its takes the cops a while to get to the scene and he might have done more damage to my car during that time? I didn't want to confront him cause he might have a knife or something. If you were ever in this situation what would you have done??

 

I would find a brick and bash his head in then grab my ECU and beat him with it. then drag him down the street strip him naked and leave him there. then call the cops to pick his punk ass up! What cowards, is stealing a car worth your life? if your fucking with me beleive it you will get yours! But in reality I probably would have secretly call the cops. :twisted:

 

Unlike most people I carry a knife on me just for such occasions and I would of used it.

 

I think you did the right thing. Hopefully you called the cops afterwards. Waiting for the cops would have given the idiot more time to do damage to your car.
Confronting a thief is frought with risk. Though this guy was probably just a punk and not dangerous, you never know. If you confront him and he gets away, you either get hurt(or worse) or you don't. If you restrain him long enough for help to arrive you either get hurt or you don't. That's a 50-50 chance you get hurt for something material, that can be replaced. In the same situation I would have yelled like you did. If he didn't run I probably, foolishly, would have confronted and stomped him - hopefully.
You did the right thing

 

wellx, i keep a butterfly knife in the console between my two seats, and a pair of nunchucks (the kind that screw together to form a pole because the chain drops into one side) in the trunk. the alarm i have has a button on the remote to pop the trunk, so instant nunchuck access...i think i'd have to bust teenage mutant ninja turtles on his @$$.

 

well i assume you had a cellphone with you.. what u did was good,,, i guess i would have called emergency and said some guys raping a girl inside a "color" car and say its going down now!!! and give the cross streets and when you see the lights you just get the attention of the officers .....and hopefully they will run after the guy/s you wil only get an immediate response if its a felony in progress other than that its not a priority...


and if they say that you lied to them.... stick with your story and say i thought he was raping someone so i hid and waited for you.... remember they have to proof you intentionally lied to them to be charged.. which is very hard to do on their part...as long as you stick to your story....so thats what i wouldhave done,,,,,


but if they really want it,, they wil get it.....whether yur in or out of the car....

 

checked out his shape, if he was one of those born unlucky small bastards i would have ran after him, assuming i have more adrenaline, catch up with him, give him the beating of his life, and call the police on him while he couldnt do shit in some wrestling position i'd be holding him in with... hehe, or not..

 

watch him steal your s--t , tail him until he gets in his car. Asuming you have a freind on the force, or just a good resource, get his plates run. Creep his house late at night with a Lousville, do him up good and burn the house down.....Uhhh, I mean you did the right thing man, anti violence is the way to go :roll: Seriuosly, tape a razor under your door handels every time you leave your car in a shady area, it hard to operate a screwdriver with flesh hanging off your finger tips.

 

You guys are nuts :lol:

Bro, you did the right thing. In all practicality and safety, you don't need to be confronting a dangerous unknown even if he's messin' w/ your car. There's a reason why we waste our money on insurance :evil:

 

i pack my 9mm loaded with me at all times i even sleep with it..
the joy of packing.. :wink: can you guess what happens when you walk up to a lil punk trying to steal your car .. ive had one kid piss his pants..
