I thought this might be of interest. The business owner is my cousin but I have not had a chance to speak to him to get the full story. It sounds like the LEO's in his area are good guys.

Oroville business owner stops burglar as he steals lawn mowers, police say
OROVILLE, CA - An Oroville business owner caught a man who broke into his store and stole lawn mowers early Saturday morning.
Oroville police officers responded to Air Cooled Unlimited, at 2816 Olive Highway, around 3:27 a.m. after getting a call from the store owner saying he was holding the suspect at gunpoint, Sgt. John Bruschi said.
The business owner said he and an employee were camping out in the back fenced yard so they could deter a burglary after the business was broken into several times in the last few weeks. During the stake out, the owner said they saw the suspect cut through the fence and then take two lawn mowers.
Bruschi said the owner and the employee then approached the suspect and held him at gunpoint until officers arrived.
Bruschi said suspect Dillion J. Masterson, 24, of Oroville, was arrested by police and booked into Butte County Jail for theft, possession of meth, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana, possession of burglary tools and committing a felony while on bail.

JBrownI'm proud of my cousin. He started out with nothing except a knack for mechanics and he has built a successful business. He is a family man, responsible gun owner and a strong supporter of the second amendment.

Swamp_FoxAfter the 14th burglary, you can be certain that the cops can't help you.

DoublessI have repeatedly stated that all cops do is sweep up the broken glass and take down the license plate numbers.
I had a tatted up 20 year-old Hispanic twerp bust into my locked garage last summer while I was out of state and steal $2K worth of fishing tackle. The punk lived two houses down at the time. Cops take fingerprints, pick up the screwdriver he left at the scene, interview him, all that stuff. What happens? Not a #$&^*! thing. He finally screwed up by threatening his wife with a pistol and now he is gone. I expect he will be in the pen by late June.
The point is, cops don't accomplish a whole lot.

Cops create revenue ( seat belt tickets ) and take history..........not too much on the protect and serve portion though...

NormanConquestA couple of months ago,a friend of mine who has a tire + automotive shop comes in the morning to open up + notices all the cars in the lot with their tailpipes hitting the ground,thieves came in the night to steal the catalitic converters for the platinum value.Earl called the cops,one showed up,did his paperwork + starts to leave.Earl says,hey,you want to check for prints as you can see his handprint on the window. The cop says don't tell me how to do my job. Well Earl says that sounds pretty stupid to me. So the cop says,You know I can arrest you for calling me stupid.Make your own conclusion,I already have.
Never mistake motion for action.

NormanConquestJtex,I agree completely.We never see "To serve + Protect" Now what we see is "Duty,Honor,Integrity".From a physological stand point what we are seeing instead of helping YOU,this is all about ME.Another point in the 'us against them context'.Way too many cops have put their mind set into that sesspool of thought,but then look at our "representatives".
