“Reasonable“ it pretty tricky to define in the moment
The jury will take account of the short amount of time you had to consider the matter and the amount of stress you were under when determining the reasonableness of your action.
no item is worth getting slashed with a crankset
That's my view too - while you're allowed to defend your property, it's unlikely to be a wise use of your resources.

Thanks for that. “Reasonable“ it pretty tricky to define in the moment, as reasonable for the employee might not be reasonable to the bystander or a jurymember who wasn’t there. Plus, no item is worth getting slashed with a crankset. Best just to let the police deal with it.
Oh wait...
