Actually a great neighboorhood, it is just nearby some apartments and a large failing school. Lots of kids, big trees, and we live in a cul de sac. Honestly just about perfect, except for the random miscreant.

All of that sounds terrible. The entire point of suffering through suburban living is supposed to be to get away from crime. If there is crime on your cul de sac, your miserable lifestyle has no redeeming value.

Won't happen. Liberals don't want to change any of that because they want people in those areas to be known as victims so they get free money from hard working Americans. Liberals hate any kind of accountability.

1) let it be known you have a lot of valuables in your house.

2) the crime will come to you.

3) build a punji pit in your front yard.

4) have criminal fall in punji pit and suffer horrific injury

5) save the city

6) get the girl

Buy a few high quality cameras and conceal them where they provide great coverage of the cul Dr sac (should be easy with just the one entrance). Ensure they can record quality images on a rolling 24hr cycle.

As crimes are reported provide evidence to the cops and start pinning up the shots of crime happening as a warning to others.

You won't get the girl, but you might see in to her bathroom if the camera position is right.

Good. It's important to come up with and publicly state a motive beforehand. Now, make sure that the target you pick is on the larger side. That will make it easier to claim that you were in fear for your life. Also, don't shoot the target from far away. Get close so you can plausibly claim they charged you. Happy hunting, honorable vigilante!

I know there is a ton I haven't thought of, so help me brainstorm on this, please :-)

Have you reported or written down all of the crimes?

Have you told the police?

Have you started a neighborhood watch program?

Have you set up cameras?

Have you done a stakeout in order to catch them instead of deterring them?

Short of a gated community, there is nothing to keep bad elements out of a neighborhood. I refuse to take part in White Flight. We live in the nicest neighborhood that could still be considered to be near "Midtown". I am taking my neighborhood back.

Go fvck yourself. I don't even know what color the people are who are breaking into cars. They could be green and purple for all I know or care. Pieces of sh!t like you are the bigger danger to our society, in any case.

With talk like that I'm worried your heart might be in the wrong place. I know we all dream about kicking the faceless nameless bad guy's ass, but I really think it's better to leave your hero fantasies as just fantasies. I'm serious. You don't want to end up getting somebody hurt or worse. Especially if you're going around with a gun, these things have a way of escalating out of control.

Good word. Message received. I just really resent being called a racist, even in jest. The race of the culprits honestly never entered my mind.

I just don't want someone else to assume a right to my stuff. I have been burglarized; it is such an invasion of privacy. Coming home and seeing your stuff rifled through, your wife's stuff rifled through... I don't know how rape victims feel, but it has to be similar.

If I can keep my friends and neighbors from feeling that way, I will.

Yeah, tough guy. Your wife's purse being emptied is the same as a rape. Talk about being pampered.

Figured you would do nothing, as you sound like a coward.

Looks like I was correct as usual.
