Thievery *is* a dangerous profession. The victims didn't ask the thieves to steal...

More likely what they will do to get something they can pawn for $30, and get their next drug
dose.

SF is not unique for that... why you usually buy (negotiate in) the
privacy cover if you buy a hatchback.

That’s not a “prank”, that’s what happens when you approach someone
with butcher knives.

Oh well... never take a prank knife to a gun fight, or at least know who it is you intend to play your prank victim. You never know what they could be packing.
At least in Nashville they would have a banjo playing their sound track music.

Years ago I had a pair of speakers stolen which the police later found
had been sold for $45 for the pair in a local pub. It cost the
insurance company $12,000 to replace them.

They should have been shot.


You are one angry dude. Get help.


No they should not have been shot. That would be extrajudicial
punishment, vigilantism.
