Sunday paper problem - 11-04-2007, 11:32 AM


Man I am pissed. Someone has stolen my sunday paper the last two past sundays. I called the Austin Statesman and they basically said tough, they gave me credit and I will get the sunday paper on Monday, wtf...... I wonder if I can just get on my roof Sunday morning with a bb gun and start shooting at the perp that is stealing my crap. I might camp out early and follow the bas***d to their house and then call the cops......Sorry just venting. Has this happened to you, what would you do that is legal?

Wow, I stole the paper sometimes when I was a kid, from neighbors while they were at work. If there's a grownup stealing your papers, that shows some serious issues.

I'm betting it's a kid, because any grownup who wants to read the paper can simply sign up for it.

Well my camera is equipped with a 1000 megasquirtle light sensitive array with a megakilo double widget interface and a pseudo-terrafilter. its got 2 million hexafurtles with a 10 kiloplex and a rechargeable virtual combo-backplate. i also fitted an optical fillyfangle with predictive threshold histogram monitoring. it also has a light sensitive light meter and a time sensitive shutter mechanism.

Post a no tresspassing sign.

I think you can then shoot with whatever you want. The rounds can be bigger than BBs.

Or for non-lethal means, maybe some of those rubber bullets police use.

While most of info I read is on the internet, there are some things like the sales section that I rather look at in print. Sucks going to BB, Compusa, Circuit City, etc websites to look at there online ads. Rather just look at them in front of me.....
