spawnflaggersays...hope this guy gets to keep his shocker installed (assume UK). In USA that's a lawsuit waiting to happen... sadly the thief could sue the vehicle owner for their injuries, even if they admit they were trying to break in and steal stuff.
noimssays...Presumably in at least parts of the US it would be ok to just shoot the thief, but setting a trap is grounds for a suit.
I'm sure there's logic there. Somewhere.

StukaFoxsays...Legal Eagle covered this in some depth on one of his videos, but the short answer is NO YOU CANNOT FUCKING DO THIS YOU UTTER FUCKING CHOWDERHEAD WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!!? (not you, of course, but whoever sets said trap). Nor can you "lie in wait" or "look for trouble" (which is why Baby Rambo is in a world of shit, but will probably get pardoned by some GOP cunt in the future. This is also how I ended up involved in a triple murder case).

psycopjokingly says...I mean this guy has clearly been the victim of a crime. And I think as a victim of that crime he has the right to protect his property.
And as a part of protecting his property he's obviously entitled to pick deterent for those who would do him harm. It's clear he should have the right to decide that deterent without limit. In a well adjusted society we let everyone, individually, decide how they want to hurt people they don't like. There is no way this could be bad.
And to protect his property he gets to harm, or harm peoples bodies. Nobody would argue this is wrong. It's only right of course that those people, who upon having their persons harmed have been the victim of a crime. And I think as a victim of that crime they have the right to cause any harm they see fit to those who have harmed them. There is no way this could be bad.
The only sensible way to proceed is everyone hurting anyone in anyway they find personally justifiable without law or concensus. Otherwise it's just chaos out there!
On the other hand he did get the autosad piano music in first, so you know, he basically wins.
Also maybe get insurance and take reasonable steps to protect yourself like taking the toolbag in the house? I get that nobody sees it coming the first time, but if it's an absolute epidemic of crime maybe word would get around?

Butt-Head: Uh-huh-huh, uh-huh-huh…

Rubber gloves?
spawnflaggersays...just to clarify, I wouldn't support the shocker if it kills or permanently injures the would-be thieves. He did put a warning sticker on the back door too.
BSRsays...At first glance my brain sees this headline as, This Election rigged his van to stop tool thieves. Then my thoughts were, damn Republicans!
