Re: [RC] Break-ins & thefts at Auburn Overlook, Rattlesnake Bar & Sterling Point - sherman

My friend that had keyless entry had her lock punched out of the door.
 
 It is very frustrating to know that there is nothing we can do to stop these criminals from destroying & stealing our property when we are out riding the trails. It feels justified to say we should hide in the bushes and "@#$%" the creeps. Especially when you see how difficult it is to convict and then how little punishment most crooks get if they are convicted of the crimes. Probably, you'd get more jail time by making an insincere threat to the crook on an obscure website, than they'd get if convicted of the theft.
 
Not looking forward to coming back to my rig with the locks punched out, even if nothing is taken.

"... Sorry, but I don't think I'm being too harsh, am I.."
 
Don't get me wrong, I am not against the use of force by citizens to protect their life, but announcing to the world that people should be shot is dangerous rhetoric.  It could be construed as a threat.  Threats can land you in jail.  I don't know for sure, but I suspect that California law also would take a dim view of a citizen shooting someone for a property crime, if no life was in danger.
 
If you are serious about doing something constructive, hide at a trail head, make good video's of the perps and their car license numbers, call the police when they break into the first car and testify at the trial.
