PICsters, Tom raises the bar begging the question of propriety while devising revenge. Unbelievable. Judge, Jury, Executioner! This thread was initially tragic (the loss) then became a bit irreverent (the loss prevention techniques), but now is getting sinister with Tom's idea for retribution. Yes, Tom, time to "panic." May I remind that there are no absolutes in life (okay, death and taxes) and from time to time acts like these happen. We pay good taxes for a police force, can't we let them do their job for issues like these? And further, a crime is only committed when the authorities determine so. E.g., say my wallet is missing from my usual pocket. Ok, was it taken by a pickpocket or was it (likely) misplaced by me? Should it also be booby trapped?
