2 Mexican Thugs Are About to Steal from my Neighbor

[klepto]

I'm about to leave for the dentist and walkoutside my house in Hollywood. I walk to my car and put my laptop inside, and as i'm walking back to my house, I see 2 extremely shady mexican dudes (probably 16-18 years old) walking towards me. I go inside and get the garbage, and as I walk out I see both of them just staring at my neighbor's open garage.

One of them plays lookout while the other runs inside really quickly and comes out with a pair of gardening gloves.

Being an idiot, I yell out, "Hey, WTF you doing?"

They both stop, and after about 3 seconds, one of them says, "what are you gonna do about it?"

Your Move.

Now for some more info:
-I've never been in a fight.
-I have a pocket knife in my pocket. 3 1/2 blade.
-Shant has a baseball bat in the front closet of his house. I could get it in 10 seconds.
-I have a cell phone.
-These guys know where I live. They don't look gang affiliated but there's 2 of em.

Results to come.

WTF? They stole a pair of gardening gloves? What a lame pair of criminals.

I think you should say you've already called the police.

If you whip out your knife and they pull a gun, your effed. If you grab the bat and they pull out a gun, your effed.
If you pull out the cell to call the cops and they pull out a gun, your effed.
I wouldn't do anything that makes me effed.

1. Risk vs. Reward
2. This sucks. I hate situations like this because I would take the bat and "swing away". Later on, the whole gang (family, whatevr, they're all effing related in the hood anyhow) would probably come to my home and kill me in my sleep. If it were far away from your house, the choice would be clear.

My move would be to kick some [censored] ass. But I am an alchoholic insane [censored] who lives for beating some ass.

So it's a pair of gloves that belong to your neighbor? No way I would cause a physical encounter over this. I'm not sure what that means I would do.

My move is to tell the neighbor when he gets home that he's an idiot for leaving his garage door open in Hollywood.

I was recently in a similar situation in Santa Monica. Kids spraying graffitti in the parking garage. Got the same response, "What are you gonna do about it". I took out my phone and acted like I called the cops. They left. I went shopping, came back and found the hood of my 4-Runner covered in some liquid that made my paint peel. Mother f-ers. I would still do the same if the situation came up again, paint job be damned.
