that's why you gotta love texas and alabama. you have every right to protect your property with force!(however you can use deadly force in tx, in alabama you can only go so far) i caught a guy trying to break into cars at my apt complex and i beat him upside the head with a baseball bat and took him to jail myself unconcious in my truck!

that sucks, i feel for anyone who spent money making their car special to them only to have a chump with no work ethic steal it!
