What would you do?

Check you hangar. We had break ins a few years ago where the people
use power drills and removed the screws holding the sheet panels in
place, then replaced them. The four were out on probation for other
acts. The judge sentenced them to probation,,,,,,again.

Mucho thread drift here, but miscreants really don't understand who they
are fooling with when they screw with airplanes and pilots. I'd hate to
be the thief who got caught by the Saturday morning crowd at my airport.
With bandsaws, blowtorches, nibblers, stretchers, shrinkers, rivet guns,
and a host of other implements on hand, Mr. Breaking and Entering would
have a very bad day. He'd probably be relieved when/if we turned him
over to the police...


That sounds pretty benign to me. In my part of the country the main
question would be what caliber hole is the perp bleeding from?
