As a Valet, what can I do if I catch someone trying to steal from cars?

During the busy times, our lot attracts a TON of unwanted visitors. It's fucking embarrassing and loses us business. While the lot is public property, it's very obvious what is happening if someone is looking through windows; especially if, when approached, they get hostile (verging on violent). Because of the latter point, I am definitely going to buy a non-lethal of some sort. Either pepper spray, or a taser. But I am curious about when I can use it, without it being assault. I want REALLY badly to taze the shit out of someone, so help me reel back my aggressive tendencies with reality!
I'm also curious at what point I can detain someone with it until security/police come (do they have to actually break an entering? even then?). I work for a large company that has insurance and expects losses, but the location I work at is ran and operated by me and I want to protect my business. I also want to discourage their behavior, especially if they are repeat offenders on MY lot. What would YOU do in my position?

Smoking weed does not prevent break-ins. Contacting security might gain a response within about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, my customers are losing items, my company money, and me, my job security.
I'm also running the site and I certainly wouldn't hire you!

I'm starting out small in my vigilante justice. By the time they get out, I'll have bought a gun. I already have a cape and baterangs I can use, but that's another thread.

Is this parking lot in a ghetto or something, are people constantly breaking in and stealing stuff?
Security officers can physically remove you from a premises, but even they can't physically DETAIN you, only police officers can, but most kids who get caught stealing don't know that, and they listen to the security officer when he says "stop", and then the cops show up and they're busted. Your not allowed to physically remove anybody or detain anybody. Now yes, employees physically remove people on occasion (especially drunks from bars and restaurants), and usually that's the end of it, but the person can file a lawsuit if they want to, and if you happen to injure them while trying to physically remove them, then you can really be in some big-ass trouble in the courts.
As a waiter, in alcohol training class, they taught us about trying to stop people from driving drunk. They made sure we understood that we have to get the license plate, car description, and call the cops, and NOT to touch them, because instances have occurred where employees have been sued for thousands for trying to physically stop a drunk driver and injuring them in the process, then the driver sues. This was taught to us in class. The best you can do is tell them to leave and that you have already called the cops, to try to scare them away. If you need to then definitely call the cops. Put up video cameras, or fake cameras, and signs everywhere which say "video cameras in use" to try to deter them, but no you can't legally touch them, unless your saving someone who is really in danger, which the courts would probably side with you on, if the person wanted to sue you. But this is a world of laws, and you can even lose that case too....
Good people are arrested and sued all the time for trying to take matters into their own hands, even though it seems like the right thing to do.

Thank you for your meaningful post! So I can't do much of anything, unless they actually get violent. Good to know!
What about brandishing a non-lethal, or threatening to use it? What conditions need to happen for this to be legally OK? What about morally OK?
Based on what you've suggested, telling them to stop, while pointing a taser at them is kinda a grey area; however if they run and I shoot, I'm getting an assault charge.

Is it worth getting killed to keep this job? That's what you should ask yourself every day before you go to work, and at work everytime you see sombody breaking into a vehicle.
If somebody is stealing it usually means they are desperate and will stab you for a dollar lol Maybe they really need that money(let's just say to feed their baby) and it's just a one time thing. people get down on their luck. No doubt in my mind that where you work the majority are taking for selfish greedy reasons though.

This is something you need to discuss with your employer. They will almost certainly have some type of mandated procedures and limitations.
I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say they are not going to be for you pepper spraying, tazing, restraining or shooting someone. Aside from shooting, those could be entirely legal, but if it's against company policy, it can get you fired.
If they are repeat offenders on your lot, call the cops directly then and there. Don't even warn them you're calling the cops, just do it. Have the police report filed. Then the next time you see them there, don't even wait for them to break the law, just call the cops, and hope they get there before he gets in the car and gets what he's after and is gone.
This is what we did to repeat offenders who stole from our store. Chances are very high the police are already going to be intimately familiar with them. With past reports filed, and if you have cameras/footage that you gave the cops or can give to the cops from past events, it won't matter if they actually were on the property for legitimate reasons. They will be charged for the past crimes they hadn't been caught for. A cop does not need to witness the theft. All they need is some kinda proof that the person is the thief you made the prior report(s) for.
EDIT: missed where it was your property.
Disregard those portions. Do the rest.

Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Your welcome......
As far as pointing non-lethals at someone to scare them away, I don't believe that's illegal (even a shoe is considered a non-lethal), but it will probably for sure get you fired if they decide to call your bosses and report what you did. I guarantee your company's procedure for dealing with thieves is that you first ensure that your in a safe place yourself, then get a good description, then call the cops. Your company probably will never support you brandishing any type of object unless you are in the process of being attacked.
You can't stop people from going up to the cars and looking through the windows since it's a public parking lot. The best you can do is keep your eyes open, and let them notice that your watching them carefully, and if they start to break into a car, shout out that your calling the cops, then call the cops. Or you can call the cops without telling them, but they might steal a bunch of shit then split, and never get caught. Shouting out that your calling the cops while you do might make the thief split before he gets anything. That's all you really need to do.

In today's world, I would be very wary of using force of any kind, except when it pertains to you personally, YOUR car or YOUR person. It sets you up for liability and opens you up to criminal charges or civil suits. There is literally no way to predict how the situation will progress once you pass the force threshold.
Say you catch someone trying to break into a car and taze them, but they only in turn come directly after you. Are you just going to run away? Probably not. So now you're in a physical altercation with them. At some point in the struggle, someone is most likely going to be injured bad enough so that the altercation cannot continue, and you are going to literally do everything in your power to make sure that person is not you. So now you've beaten some guy severely. Since you started the altercation, the only way to justify it (and even then it is a stretch) is to prove beyond all doubt you were attempting to stop him from robbing someone. Without being able to prove you had reasonable justification in the whole ordeal, you are looking at assault (maybe even aggravated) charges.
This is only one scenario. There are countless, because as I said, there really is no way to know how events are going to transpire.
That's not to say that even if this scenario played out exactly as that, that you would be charged, but it's a good possibility. Truthfully, cops have little care for those engaged in criminal activity and usually side with the other side of the events. I wouldn't want to bank on that happening though. I'd want to know for sure I couldn't be put into a situation like that.

Impatient, I guess you have a point. That said, I guess morality has nothing to do with it in my eyes, after all. I don't really give a fuck about the deeper meanings of their crimes; they're imposing on my way of life. If I die by protecting that, so be it. People have died for less.
My employers are really hands-off at the location. I make most of the rules in that regard. I will still ask though and I will definitely need to contact security to see what protocols they have in place on their property. Thank you for the sound and realistic replies!
Legally speaking, I am still curious about brandishing a non-lethal. I think wake is right, but I think that would change if I point it at someone. What if I point it at them and yell "get down on the ground, or I will shoot"?
What doesn't sit right with me is that if they see me and run (and I can't do anything but call for help), they'll get away every time. Cops/security just won't get to them in time. Seems like I got into the wrong business... And I HAVE TO confront them, because I'm usually catching them when I'm on my way to retrieve a car from the lot. It'd be very difficult to explain to a customer that it took 20 minutes to retrieve a car because someone was about to break into it and I needed to tuck back and watch.

Oh, and I'm still very unclear on what changes (if anything) if they have, beyond doubt, broken into a car . When it comes to protecting the personal property that's in my possession, what can I do? Would it be any different if I recognize a customer's purse in their hands?
Can I taze them, huh, huh??? I just want to hear them fry

If you really want to get down to specifically what's legal and not in certain circumstances, you should call your local police department and ask to speak to an officer. They'll either get one on the phone for you, or they'll call you back. Politely and professionally ask them any questions you may have. Write down questions you have before you call, so you don't space out while talking to them, and write down their answers.
Simple as that.

Well that's why I've said don't approach them or warn them or anything, just immediately call the cops. Chances are pretty low they'll be caught the first time, but make the report and hand over evidence (and keep a copy just in case for later) then rinse and repeat every time, whether the cops get there fast enough or not. Eventually there is going to be a cop patrolling just right around the corner and can be there quicker than he can open the door and rifle through everything for a minute or two.
Just keep calling them and filing reports. After you've filed the first report and supplied evidence proving his crime, you don't have to wait until he commits a crime for them to come. Tell the dispatcher the situation, but keep it brief (to shorten response time). "I have a trespasser breaking into cars I reported just a few days/weeks ago and need a patrol car here". Make a note of what he's wearing, they will ask. If you want to increase your chances of seeing him caught, then discretely watch him while waiting on the cops to come. Don't let him see you and get spooked. If he's gone before they can arrive (they usually just miss them by a minute in my experience) tell them exactly which they went, how far away they were the last time you saw them and a good description of what he was wearing. If it's a car he gets away in, note the make/model/color and license. The cop will take off after them trying to find them. If 20 or 30 minutes go by and he hasn't been brought back for an ID, call dispatch again and explain the events, and that you need to file a formal complaint and ask for an officer to come.
It's frustrating but with persistence you can nail them. I'm generally the "no snitch" type. But when it comes to people like this, I have no ethical qualms about it at all. When you're not hurting anyone, I see no reason to get the law involved, but he's victimizing others and that shit just isn't cool. So fuck them, they deserve the legal headache.
Nothing really changes when there's no doubt. Even if you can prove you absolutely acted in a justifiable matter, it can still come back onto you from your employer, criminal law or civil law. If you use force, you're taking a risk and there is no way short of self defense or protect your own property that is a rock solid defense. Even if you stop a purse snatcher through force, you are still open to liability. Unlikely it would happen, but it's still a possibility.

Simple as that.
I would NOT rely on this. In theory it's a great idea, but people in law enforcement are no less susceptible to false understanding/belief than any other person. Extreme example, but just because you called up your local police and asked them if it would be legal to shoot someone for trespassing, and then did, doesn't mean you'd be immune to prosecution when that information is false.
"Ignorance of the law is no excuse". This isn't something I'm saying, this is part of the core that makes up law. Being told something is okay, regardless who tells it to you, does not excuse you should those actions be illegal. You are still liable.
If you wanna go that route, the best thing you can do is call up an attorney. Someone who actually makes or breaks their career on actually knowing the law. Cops aren't cops because they understand all of the law. That is why we have court and the legal system we do. They are only there to arrest you for suspected illegal activities and bring you to court to determine if you actually did break the law.

Great point, man! Cops really don't know shit. I've explained the law to them more than they me.
I guess I have some research to do. I've never called an attorney before!

I'm pretty confident most of the info I gave you is correct, and you really don't need to call the cops, it was just a suggestion.
but.....if you do decide you want to give the cops a ring, and your worried that your gonna get an inaccurate, uninformed cop on the phone, then request to talk to a sergeant, and call 5 or 6 different precincts, and talk to 5-6 different sergeants, and compare your answers. Weed out the chances of getting an uninformed noobie cop. It's not hard to think of this stuff. There ARE cops out there who know whats up and will help you with the right answers.
You said before you'll call the cops for info, then when the other dude replied that it was a bad idea, you immediately bought into the idea that your gonna get an idiot cop and you changed your mind. Think for yourself.
Peace

Lol, because he raised a good point that 90% of cops really aren't informed enough to get into the depth of my questioning. They're about assessing threat and acting. Interesting that my change of heart seemed to upset you 
Psych, just trollin' you man. Idk if a sergeant is really trained to give legal advice either, but I do like the idea of obtaining as many sources about it as I can. I had already planned to do that with the lawyers when you posted that.

I didn't say it was a bad idea, I said I wouldn't (as in, me, personally) rely on it. I wasn't trying to make you out to be ignorant, put you down or act like you don't know you're talking about. I'm just giving my opinion and experiences. I have dealt with regular thieves while being in a situation where there's nothing I can really do about it but am expected to stop it, which is kind of infuriating. I restrain a thief I get fired. I let thieves get away, I can get fired.
We agree on a lot, I even agree for him to think for himself. He's free to pursue whatever advice given to him in whatever way he sees fit. All I'm doing is giving my input as anyone else would.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

here's what you do the next time you catch someone stealing cars, you quickly run inside and get some help, then quickly run back out and surround him in a circle jerk until cops arrive

PS, I had said that I'd call the cops (in general) as to show that I acknowledged your guys' advice. In fact, I was purposefully vague about whether I'd call for advice, or if there was an attempted break-in (re Shroomslip's advice)
If you are interested in provoking ego and hearing what I'll actually do, well I'm probably going to get a taser, dissect the law through my own research and a few conversations with lawyers, just to know exactly where the line is, then step boldly up to that line in a direct confrontation with the thieves. Boldly crossing into the grey areas, knowing that my knowledge of the law will allow me to explain the situation better than any thief. Like I said, I do not have the luxury of watching, so I need to be protected and informed.
