Your a tombstone guy right? At the original tombstone a ref had his shocker stolen and everyone knew who took it. He played with it at SC. The guy never got it back.

It's not a fool-proof plan, but it's better than looking at a gun and not doing anything about it. You can do more than just take a picture of the guy. You can take a picture of the license plate of the car he leaves in. If he is playing with a team, you can talk to the team mates. You can report everything you've seen to the police (stealing $500+ is grand theft after all). You don't have to take the gun. You can do your best as a citizen to uphold the law without being a vigilante.
It sucks that the ref didn't get his shocker back, but just because something happened like this in the past doesn't mean that I'm going to be a pessimist.
On a side note, I don't know why it would offend you someone asked you to see the serial number of your gun. I would gladly help someone if they are just trying to find and retrieve a stolen marker.
