Bastards.You poor Dad
I could have understood someone targetting a specific item for it’s value or collectability but they were obviously brainless morons grrrrrr

You have got your work cut out, what there needs to be is a sudden steepening of sentances for repeat offenders – not as a “throw away the key” type punishment but as a way of keeping them in the system to assess why they keep reoffending and how to break the behaviour.
Think it reasonable to say that if someone keeps getting picked up for petty theft that is obviously their occupation and not a one off.

I have a whole street of twats like you describe, just itching for you to leave something of “any value” outside then woosh, like David Blaine street magic, it’s gone only to re-surface at the next street corner to be sold for the little shits next hit from the bong.
What really get’s me is the police, despite actually catching these people red handed don’t seem to want to do anything about it. I have no respect for the police on matters of this nature and having been stolen from in the past I resort to taking the law into my own hands much to the surprise of the afformentioned theives.
Worse thing is you actually get in more trouble for fighting back, but why not I say as it’s the one and only time you seem to get a reaction from the police and even more comical is they start defending the scumbags!
I know it’s been debated many times before, but I think you should be able to defend your own property. If I caught scumbags theiving from my shed red handed I’d be out there like a shot, windmill style with a disturbed look on my face. I’m not the smallest bloke in the world and by no means the largest, but I just won’t stand for it anymore. These people need to know if they steal then there is a fairly good chance they are going to recieve pain in the process.

tomorrow’s Daily Mail is right – lock the pesky blighters up and throw away the key.
btw, do you have a picture of your dad we can use?
