If I were him I'd have given her a choice:
1. She can return my shovel and in my appreciation for her honesty, I'll use the snowblower to clear her car out.
2. She can play dumb and deny everything, at which point I'll bury her car under 20+ feet of show and she can take "her" new shovel for a very long test drive.
People have been killed fighting over dug out parking spaces( and now handicapped spaces), so it's not good to risk irritating somebody who might be a crazy. She was a low life for stealing his shovel, but who in the city leaves things laying around outside? My neighbor leaves his snow thrower on his front porch and I think he's asking for it to be stolen even in a crime free suburban neighborhood.
A simple note on her windshield saying " Please return my snowshovel, I saw you take it." would have gotten it back.
It may please some to seek revenge, I do to some degree but I am more in favor of using security cameras and pushing prosecution, even for a petty theft.
It's a matter of principle.
