    P.S. This likely would not have happened if he put a padlock on the van doors. Most thieves are opportunist. Breaking a plastic seal no problem. Cutting off a padlock is much less likely to happen.

    Yell "hey is that you Bob?". Most people will turn to say "what?". Then you fire.

    I don't think it's hard for a thief to get through a padlock.
    A padlock screams valuable stuff!
    A plastic seal says, meh, it's probably racks.

    Cans are excellent targets. Shoot cans for practice. All kinds of cans. Don't forget to recycle.

    Maine has a bottle law (deposit / redemption), supposing we're shooting at soda / beer cans - so don't shoot the barcode if you want your nickle back. ;)
