A bunch of years ago, Christmas shopping, I was walking back to my pickup when I saw someone leaning against the passenger side of my truck. Initially I thought he was just attempting to hide that he was urinating, and then I realized he had a coathanger in the window and was trying to jimmy the door.

I did not think, just reacted.

I walked up behind him fairly silently and delivered a punishing round kick to his right kidney area while shouting that that was my vehicle. He fell to the ground, and I kicked him a couple more times, and was sure I heard bones break, and then he got up and ran away.

I never dropped any of my armload of packages.

Before cell phones.

I was so steamed that I got all the way home before I even thought of calling the police, which I did, and they said they would check ERs, but I never heard a word back.

If I had been carrying I would have had to put my packages down to do anything, and it was damp and snowy/slushy.
