in fact, they blame the victims for having valuables hidden in their cars.

i think i'm going to start making a ghillie suit and find a place to hide where i can watch one of these parking lots.

I'm not a big fan of vigilante justice, but as Spiffy put it, hide out in the parking lot and beat the perps within a inch of their lives, a few instances of that and I think the crime would be reduced. The perps know that these crimes will go unsolved, so that is why they do it, plus witnesses don't seem to step forward these days anymore for fear of retaliation. I see a crime, I'll nark em off, had my car broken into too much when I was younger, nothing ever much stolen because I never had a nice stereo or kept valuables in there. Just a lot of cut tops on my jeep or broken windows.

The Arlington VA police force has bait cars with remote kill switches and video cameras mounted in the car

the perps lawers don't even know theres video of them stealing radios until the day of the trial.

I recently saw some sort of a national geographic special that featured Innuits or another native group demonstrating a hunting technique of sneaking up on seals (or was it walruses) across the ice, camoflauged in that nice white fur. You could open a special hunting season on car thieves and these guys could teach "stalking" skills.

I'd bet finding a hidey-hole near the parking lot for yourself, your paintball gun, and a cooler-full of frozen paintballs (or pepperballs, if available) would have a high likelyhood of reducing the theft problem.... Cheesy

actually in all seriousness, i'm willing to volunteer my time on weekends to stand guard with a shotgun in the parking lot.

its obvious that local law enforcement doesnt have the manpower, and the volunteer patrols have said they arent equipped, since they are really, just 'patrols' on the bike trails in town.

i already got the black royal robbin pants, and tons of black shirts. add a pair of glasses and a nifty ear-piece that looks like a com unit and i'd be good to go. oh yeah, i'll also need some tactical gloves. and a camelback.

plus it'd be a great way to meet hippy chicks that go hiking. carberry, ya with me on this?

I do not think that would be legal. I believe defendants have a right to all of the evidence used against them, but I am not a lawyer.

I think they could ask for it in discovery.

Spiffy, can I wear mirror sunglasses?  Like in "Electraglide in Blue"?

Uh, yea.  They ask for any evidence to be used against them and the prosecution has to provide it.  Not alot of surprises in a real courtroom.

we're already making a comeback. havent you seen those commercials where they say "such-and-such is so easy, even a caveman can use it!", and the camera cuts to a family of cavemen living in a suburban home, saying "that aint right!"

all i need to do is find a really hot orangutan that will mate with me.

Especially is spiffy is painted all white, except for the one place that is painted red.  Throw in WA painted up the same way, in pink high heels, and one orangutang.  Or better yet that rather large monkey with the really red butt.

I think 2 guys in painted white with cherries painted on them would deter perps or make them throw up their lunches.
