I hear you John,
I had a $1300 mountain bike stolen from my parents house.
This was like 12 years ago or so.
I found out who it was, Bought the bike back from a gang. (I wouldn't be here today if I brought the cops there.)
Four years after the fact, I ran into him in a bar and layed him out.
So he threatened my truck.
Mentally it was WAR. Bring it on PAL
Nothing happened.
I've actually ran into him a few times and he has done some growing up.
He seems cool now, but not welcome around anything I or my friends own.
No Mas!
