+1 for that. If it's 1 on 1 then maybe but even then these types of scum don't fight fair and if they're at the level of society that makes a habbit of stealing they'll probably be carrying a weapon of some sort.I came out of my office one lunchtime to find my bike being stolen, and I completely froze. I couldn't have challenged the thief, as he was a big bugger with a neck tattoo, but on reflection I should have just shouted "Stop! Thief!" from a distance.
Not my finest hour, but it wasn't a very good bike anyway. And the police officer said 'better to lose a bike than end up getting stabbed'.
Sadly we also live in a country that is basically a "criminals playground" and any violence commited against them is a possible lawsuit [or worse] againt you.
