    What can I get away with legally if I find people breaking into my car in my driveway?

    Phone the gardai, let them deal with it. It's not a good idea to confront them.

    i agree but was just talking to my brother today about this, his car has been broken into 4 times in the past two weeks, windows smashed once nothing major taken out of it.
    Gardai say nothing can be done about it! so he intends on sitting out one night in his partners car watching his car with a hurl.

    Legally you can get away with anything..as long as you don't get caught.

    He could say he was out practicing his golf swing and he heard people breaking into his car. When he went to investigate they moved towards him in a threatening manner, therefore he had no option but to defend himself with the club. Couple of swift bangs to the head should suffice.

    I worked with a lad years ago who on returning home late one night on foot found two chaps trying to rob his beloved, and high powered car.
    He managed to catch / hold onto one of them as they tried to flee.
    His neighbour called round and they brought this young chap miles away into the middle of the countryside and gave him a bit of a slap about, took his shoes and left the feicer walk home.
    He told us all about it the next day at work and to be fair most people though it was an okay response.
    A few week later his car was torched in his driveway, causing extensive damage to his drive and the front of his house, he found a pair of trainers in the garden.
    It would appear that the young chap didn't think it was an okay response, that is assuming that it was the same guy, but given the man didn't report the initial crime, or allow a positive id of the young fellow it might have been purely coincidental.
    So, do what you are 100% sure what you can get away with and make doubly sure there will be no repercussions, and that's easier said than done.
