I seriously doubt the razor blade or hot wire would do anything. Think about it. If a thief is trying to open your door and gets zapped or cut He's gonna do 1 of 2 things. Do as 3.4camaro said and get pissed and destroy more ****, or he's just gonna open the door with his shirt or something else. It's not rocket science.

HB 1887 went into effect on 09/01/07 whice added some subsections to the old bill. You are still better off just filling them full of lead in your front yard. Just hope you don't get any blood on your car or stero equipment.

burglary of vehicles.

convicted of an offense under this section; and
(2) the offense is a state jail felony if:

All he'd have to say is that he was confused and thought it was a friends car, he was going to leave a book or something in it. Get an alarm with a pager and don't make anything obvious other than the LED. No super flashy head units, no exposed amplifiers or subs and you shouldn't have any problems.

I've always wanted to tack some razorblades across the top inside of my 6' privacy fence..about 1/4" sticking up..so if somebody tried to climb over my fence they'd be in for a little surprise.

I'd hate to have to defend myself in court for shooting somebody over a cd player. The thiefs crooked lawyer will have a field day with you in court. Your best bet is to let the police do their job. Set up a camera and set out some bait, maybe you'll get the same guy. No entrapment if you just afford them the opportunity to get caught.

I would fill the car full of some nice stuff and stake out a couple of nights with a nice rifle with a scope on it. I would necessarily shoot them unless it came to that but make them close. You do have the right to shoot someone that is threating your property.

I decided not to do the razor thing, yesterday I wold have smashed someones head with my slugger if they decided to come back for more.
Just got off e-bay and got an alarm with two sirens for only $15,
i'm gonna put the sirens inside the car and wire it so when the door is opened and its armed it will go off 5 seconds after, hopefully giving the wold be thief a hearth attack or make him deaf for a minute or two
I just want to hurt the ones that are trying to hurt me, killing them wold be to much even for me

alarm wont help, they are thieves, they are expecting an alarm, it just speeds things up. I have an alarm, been broken into 3 times.

Ok, this is advice, and the rules as I heard them from a Lawyer. If you try the razorblade/livewire idea, you could easily get sued and lose. The law states something to the nature of that is someone is trespassing, you can not use extreme or unforseable force to prevent them w/o warning. Example, some idiot comes on your land, gets caught in a bear trap, and you didn't have signs up, he sues, you lose(crude example, but you get the idea). Same will go with razorblade especially, probably the live wire too.

As far as shooting them, same lawyer advised that you shoot to kill, and put a throw down weapon on them so you can claim you feared for your life.

Sorry to hear about your car, and hope you get the little punks.

I havent read this whole thread... but putting razor blades under the door handle etc would be a PITA... would you do that everytime you parked your car????

how is the theif going to have a lawyer if he's dead?

just don't shoot them in the back, make sure you hit them from the front. then, like Tex7387 said, use a throwdown weapon (kitchen knife or something similar). case closed, and one less waste of ******* oxygen out on the streets

**** a crackwhore theif!

You can kill anyone who threatens your property without question, they cannot sue you or even try to under Tx state law. The "Castle" law was passed recently and it states you have the right to punish any trespasser/thief with death. Shoot the scumbags and get them off our streets, they really dont deserve to live, even over a stereo it is stil worth it to kill them. Call me cold blooded but you dont mess with a mans things, if my best friend vandalized or stole from me I would kill him undoubtedly.

^^^ yes sir just on the news today some old guy shot and killed someone who was walking in his garage at night.

houtex

If anyone steps foot in my garage without my permission, like breaking in or anything like that...there last thoughts would be. "damn. that wasnt worth it....*dies*"

I have a 70' fastback that i built with my bare ******* hands in my garage. And $$$ in tools and equipment.

I say park with car on grass, leave windows wide open with all your stuff in there, and when they roll up to steal you stuff, BLAST their ***..
That is the beauty of living in this great state, the right to kill someone over YOUR PRIVATE property...

Just make sure the car is on your property, grass. driveway.. etc.
and when you shoot them, its not a wound, its a TO DIE FOR shot.

^^ Doesn't have to be on your property, you can can shoot if they're attempting to steal your property ie car on street.
