If I caught someone doing that they would be a dead man. No ifs ands or buts about it.I feel same way, we had someone loosening lug nuts on my wife's truck, I told the cops plain out if I catch them I will beat them to death and it won't be a fast death I will drag it out for a few days. In Vermont you have to prove within a shadow of a doubt that they were going to do bodily harm, they would end up with one of my knives in their hand before cops arrive
