Dealing With Thieving

Damn. Those thieves have got to my place again. I call the police and they don’t even turn up anymore. I collect another lodgement number, this is now the 9th. I am getting so angry with no action.
Talking to the neighbours regarding the thefts. They advised the family, in the scruffy house on the corner, are the people doing it and the coppers are too scared to tackle them. I have a think.
In my younger days I was a fitter and turner. I noticed a request in the local paper for someone to assist with building traps for animals. They are humane traps to collect wild animals for later releasing in the wild. I attend the meeting and get some plans to build. As they stated I put up a notice at my gate to be aware of testing traps within my property. My neighbour saw me pinning up the notice, so I took a picture of him, the notice and the day’s paper. I downloaded and printed 5 copies giving him a copy.
During the next few weeks I made some 15 traps and handed them over to the local wildlife society. They were very happy with them. At the same time I made some vicious traps, yes ones with very sharp knife edge and saw tooth edge and left them around my property. I knew where they were.
I went out on Saturday night after checking all of the traps were set. I came home around 1am hearing a small request for help. Looking I saw the local thug from the corner house. He had sprung the saw tooth trap and it had almost cut his leg off just above the ankle.
