What happened to you really sucked.
Here is a real story of a car theft that ended "one for the good guys"
About 8 years ago, I was meeting an informant at the Woodbridge Mall (Woodbridge NJ) a very busy mall in North New Jersey. I left my US Gov vehicle in the parking lot. After my meeting I walked back through the parking lot and noticed 2 punks very intent on opening the windows of my car, in fact I watched as one window was broken. As luck would have it, I was not carrying a fire arm, just an ASP baton. As I walked towards them, I flicked it open. They must have heard the movement and rushed me (these were not amateurs) as I dodged to the side to protect my flank, I stumbled and fell to the ground. I heard them laugh as the started to "put the boot" to me (fortunately the dumb a**'s were wearing cheap sneakers). They both got in a couple licks before I broke first ones ankle, and then the others ankle with the baton from my ground position. They lost interest in me and were whining and hobbling away. So as to make the occassion more memorable, I gave them matching elbow fractures. I collapsed my baton, got in my car and left them crying on the pavement. I did not call the local PD, I figured I taught them enough of a lesson. I am actually happy that I was not armed, I would not have been able to give them a learning experience
So sometimes good things do happen :)
