If it makes you feel any better a couple of months ago I was awakened at approx 3am by intermittent cheering and banging noises coming from our street. When I came too I looked out the window to see 3 guys running over the parked motors. Luckily my STi was tucked away. I decided I might get my face rearranged if I confronted them, and I didn't want to just shout at them so I decided to give the plod a shot via 999. They appeared like lightning up an adjoining side street and nicked them red handed. They called me about 2 weeks later to thank me and say that all three got done for it. Barstewards.
By the way I'm a newbie to SIDC forum, hugo on S/net, but someone else (who doesn't seem to post) has this nickname here.
