OK... I, and I suspect everyone on here in no way condones anyone trying to steal. I know what I'd do in this situation, and again, I suspect that I know what most of you on here would do in a similar situation. I'm glad that you managed to stop them, and that your baby is still where it should be.
HOWEVER... This is a public board, and we will not tolerate actual threats, or actual acts of violence towards people. Boards get monitored by the police, and can be used as evidence. There is a correct method to employ when this type of situation occurs, and I'm sure you know what that is.
So, keep posts sensible please. I have no problem with 'advertising' the offenders names, but the 'whoop-ass' stick will be deployed for people who don't heed this polite little warning...
