I live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, right in the heart of the downtown. So far, two bicycles have been stolen, and someone attempted to gank a third one. Fortunately, I didn't really care about the first two. I'm assuming its probably the same person(s) so I was thinking about planning a stake-out.
I have a semi-automatic, gas-powered air pistol and I was thinking about hiding in the bushes after placing a bike in a most obvious location. Once the perps arrive looking for another free, two-wheeled ride, I'll jump out, inform them that I've already called the police, and then pop them with the pistol as many times as I can while they run away.
I'm hoping this is good enough to scare them away for good.
Hell, I could even put on my SWAT vest and see if they'd still run...
The other option I had in mind was to dig a large hole and equip it with some pungi sticks, but that seems more labor-intensive...
