Same here Shane, we always knew a 'buyer'.
Get a 21 year old party buddy to get beer.
Or whoever else was dumb enough to help us out.
Fairly easy given our locale....grin

Travis It all averages out, or at least it should. I bought a 6 pack of Red Lodge Jack's 90 last Sunday. Still have one left.

Travis Way back in the olden days (70's) I heard about "this guy" who stole wine from the Circle K that was right behind his house just a half block away. He'd go into the store with four or five friends wearing a ski coat (winter time) and everyone would disperse throughout the store. "This guy" would walk down the wine isle, grab a bottle of Boone's Farm, stuff it down the front of his pants (neck first), and put both hands in his pockets. Then he'd walk up to cash register when another guy actually bought something and walk out with the crew. It worked every time but "this guy" only did it a couple of times before realizing just how stoopid this was. When "this guy" turned eighteen all of that kind of stoopid criminal BS came to an end ... forever.

Jack's 90 is like an alcoholic steak dinner. Sorry for the hijack. Rustlers back in the Day used to swing from a rope and they still tried to pull chit.

Luring someone into your open garage to "catch them" is a very bad premise from the start. When we had thefts from autos in public parking lots, we set out the VARDA car. We had one empty electronics box in plain view with one of three car doors left unlocked by "mistake". There were a number of ways to trigger the alarm - usually we alarmed the open door. When the perp opened the door, a radio broadcast was made to the area cars. Usually though there was one unmarked watching from a distance away. If a foot chase ensued, which was usual, the perp would drop the box and claim he was innocent. Except we had invisible powder on the box and everywhere the perp touched himself would turn purple. We had some odd looking mugshots of purple faced dudes. It was all pretty humorous and the thefts would subside for awhile.
But trying this at home is not good business.
My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.

It is all fine right up until you use lethal force. If he had captured the twerp and called the law he would have been cheered, instead he is going to spend a long time in jail.

there will never be a shortage of folks that want to steal your chit. There never will be a time when the police can/will deal with them all. Keep your doors and windows locked, and your magazines full.

Brings back an old memory. Once back in high-school,being a foolish teenager, my best friends dad worked for A.Busch. He got cases of beer, free allotments, and his basement had cases of beer stacked up. We foolishly thought he would never miss one case out of all those. We were wrong. We didn't get shot, but we did get our asseskicked by that old man. Sure wasn't going to tell my pop, because he would kick my butt again. LOL

In my opinion this situation was no more 'self-defense', than shooting deer over feeders is 'hunting'. Agreed.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.
