The few times I've had small crimes committed against me, I've been more pissed at myself for not preventing it.
I posted this in another thread, but I had a 2.5 gallon gas can with about a gallon of gas stolen out of the back of my truck one time. I was pissed for leaving it out in the open, but I decided to so something about it. I took another crappy gas can, filled it with water, used oil, sawdust, dirt, diesel, and just enough gas to make it smell like gas, and left it in the back of the truck. Sure enough, it was stolen. Later on, the wife and I were taking a walk around our neighborhood when I noticed two teens wrenching under a car. I asked what was wrong with the car, and the one replies that he's not sure, it just started running rough and stalling. (classic symptoms of crappy fuel) I just smiled and wished them luck.
