I am not advocating killing but when was last time filing a report worked for you?

Last time an illegal ran a red light and totaled my car. He ran away on foot and I filed a police report. That's $10K+ property loss plus my medical expense plus my salary loss.

The police did two excellent things: jack and squat!!!
Why didn't you shoot the illegal?

Here's my biggest concern:

Did this guy get his $150 back?

The question really is what would you suggest me to do to recover my loss?

That's the same as "tough luck."

Your alliance is completely wrong. You think good law abiding citizens should just endure the damage caused by criminals. That way of thinking is why we have high crime rate.

I thought this guy was a prostitute hiring criminal, not a "good law abiding citizen"?

Mind you, even criminals have right to self-defense or to recover stolen property.
