their car and zapping people who tried to steal it! I'd have put enough of a change into it to knock the bastages out!

Yea, I know I can't do that. I was hit last year by someone who stole my newspaper off of the driveway every couple of days for weeks!. I got mad enough that I hid early one morning with my softball bat. I was going to at least smash the guy or his windshield (that day he chose to not come by).. I mentioned it in passing to a lawyer buddy of mine at my gym. He told me I would be the one to get in trouble...Didn't seem fair at all, but I took his advice. Instead, I'd sneak out, get my paper and replace it with a week-old paper with a real nasty profane note inside. It took several times of him taking that paper but I never saw him again...and i stayed out of jail.
Still..I LIKE the shock idea!!!
