Any of the Radical Trivia nights/locations. Especially the ones with Jared. My friends and I generally go to the Thursday nights at OTB Bicycle Cafe, in South Side, at 7:00pm.

As admittedly nice as it feels, it is unnerving that there are multiple 70°F-or-over days in the middle of February, at this latitude and this far inland.

If this is February, June & July are likely to be even more sauna-like (e.g. particularly hot and humid) and generally unpleasant.

> All that note will tell me is to put an outside camera on my porch, pointing directly at my vehicle. They would hope that I’m not close to the door when they trigger the alarm.

So, what is the “right”/“correct” way to address the situation if they are caught in the act?

Not confronting them or just calling the cops (who will get there long after the deflater has left) just lets them complete their work, perhaps even emboldening them by making them feel unstoppable.

On the other hand, bringing weaponry - be it mace, or a taser, or a bat/crowbar/etc, or even a gun - into the situation is likely to only result in a very bad end for one party (possibly even the one who brought the weapon to begin with).
