Bike thieves deserve to be hung.

My late brother, living in Hawaii where theft is basically legal, was living in
a little apartment complex where the apartments fanned out on either side of the
owner/manager's office/residence.

One night somebody was trying to break into something. The manager ran out
with a .45 automatic and just *emptied* that thing into the sounds of the night.

My brother determined later later that he was shooting blanks...but they didn't
have any more theft problems for awhile. I'm guessing that work got out that
the manager was crazy...

If it doesn't kill him or her,your get sued big time.
Remember criminals have rights too. But nice try.

I just make sure I can take my bike wherever I go with it, if I have to lock
it up there I just dont go. Nice idea though.
