I just chased a punk down the street after I caught him breaking into our car.

In related news, there is a new bike in my shed.

Excellent, did you put the hurt on the punk?

Didn't catch him. I was running barefoot.

In retrospect I should have gone out the back door and surprised him.  Scared the :censor: out of him though.

Had I caught him, not sure what I would have done.

Fortunately he didn't manage to take anything.

Yep. That's why you need to contact the cops. You are in possession of stolen property.

The only reason I offer this advice is an identical situation happened to a friend. Surprised a thief trying to get in his garage. He escaped, but left his bike behind. The thief called the police on my friend and said that he stole his bike! It became a sticky situation for my friend. He obviously had no evidence of the attempted break in and nothing was missing. But he DID have the guy's bike. It became a finger pointing match and he was lucky not to be charged.

This old gen 1 ipad running ios 5.1.1 is getting to be almost unsuable... :P

My Gen 1 is still functioning fine.  I use it mostly for reading and surfing.  Works good for LEGO building instructions in PDF format.

AC, do you want to make a team?  Just need to find a car.

The Motorsport Club of Ottawa has scheduled three Enduro Ice Races for 2014 at the Capital City Speedway. The first race, on February 16th, is now open for Registration followed by two more on February 23rd and March 1st. Each 3 hour ice race is one of the most entertaining events of the year. If you have any interest in racing or you have participated in previous years please visit the MCO forum for updates. We have figured out a way to reduced the costs and this year's team entry fee is $150 + HST.  Each team is generally composed of three or four drivers so get your friends lined up early.

Looks like a lot of fun!

Took my wife to the doctor today to have her staples removed. Too bad it couldn't wait a week, would have made for a good Halloween costume.
