A thief breaks into your house. All the years of watching 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin on TV will be put into good effect. You are ready to give the penyamun your version of the "Stone Cold Stunner". For added protection, you also carry your new Nike Sumo driver with the really massive club head (more forgiving, the ad says but you are not in a forgiving mood). Then what? Well it depends.
If you are built like Andre the Giant (remember him?) and the thief immediately surrenders in fear, he may be confined until the Police arrive. Keep the driver in the golf bag Tiger! If however you are more 'Cicakman' than 'Superman' and he tries to escape or beat you up with his kungfu, the law allows you "all means necessary" to effect the arrest. However, the person arrested is not to be subjected to more restraint than is necessary to prevent his escape.
So much for the law. A word of advice. You can always replace your property. A few years back, a foreign doctor was killed when he confronted thieves who broke into his house. He was killed with his own knife. The reality is that desperate people will react desperately. Violence begets violence. Your Ferrari (or Vios) is really, really not worth dying for.
