#1 Tacoma may be considered St. Pancake territory since that is where Evergreen is.

Too bad they didn't have a security videotape going.

#2 Sounds like an excellent place to set up an ambush.

First set up a private drive that looks like a public way, with tire-shredding electronic security spikes. Then several good quality hidden cameras, and something that looks easy to damage, like a big pane of glass.

When they throw or shoot something at the glass, the spike strips activate and pop all four of their tires.

Then you get a couple of big, mean guys to charge them, so they abandon their car and run away.

Then you tow their car.

All told, they pay for the glass, extra-expensive tow charges, four new tires, and a "hate crime" fee, or you offer to turn the video over to the police and press criminal charges.

Three or four of the idiots and it pays for itself.
