There are other options of course. In my opinion a car thief is no
better than a horse thief, and we all know what happens to them.



It's telling that you are describing yourself as no better than a 19th
Century vigilante. In the more civilized areas of the country, you
aren't supposed to take the law into your own hands and hang some
someone you caught stealing your car or lawn mower or whatever in your
driveway. You're supposed to call the police and let them handle it.

Someone comes up your driveway, proceeds to attempt to steal your car
.... you are there witnessing this .... and all you would do is
memorize what he looks like and call the police?


That's right, and as soon as the cops arrive and take their report, I
call my insurance agent. I'm not taking a chance the car thief will get
violent. It's not a person, it's a car, an inanimate object that is easy
to replace.
