Good news and less good news.

Years ago I caught a bloke syphoning the petrol out of my car in the middle of the night and did much the same as you, except I didn't bother phoning the police afterwards - just left him lying in the road. It took me ages to pull the head-shaped dent out of the rear panel.

My wife used to work for the police, and some of the old boys would often reminisce about the good old days when prisoners 'accidentally' fell down the stairs.
