If you don't want to confront them with firepower which is what I would do. How about a night vision trail camera. Seems you get them on film the local authorities would probably be able to identify them. So glad I don't live in a city. I have 14 acres with cameras a big dog and lots of ammo nobody in there right or wrong mind would come back here and risk there well being for anything

In my hometown the new thing is to steal cat converters.While there still on the vehicle.

haha... jokes on them if they come to my house. I don't have any Cadillac converters on my machines. :D

I knew a guy who called them Catalina Converters! :D
