Two nights ago, I accidentally left my car open in my driveway and someone went through it and stole my wallet (which thankfully only had my license in it, but that still sucked because I spent today at the DMV) and sunglasses. About a month ago someone also went through my mom's car, but didn't take anything. I live in a relatively nice neighborhood, and I'm suspecting it's one or two punk kids.
I want to catch these kids and beat the stuff out of them. What would be a good way to do this? I want to catch them in the act and trap them so they can't get away. I was planning on using a baseball bat or a wooden sword I have after they are immobilized . I really want to teach them a lesson, like really forget them up so bad that they're not going to be able to walk or move for a while. Brain damage is also a plus. I just need to figure out a way to keep them from running away. Any suggestions?
