A business owner said on social media that someone tried to break into his premises.
Instead of calling the police, Jeff Usher said he wanted to offer "a better way" to the culprit.
"It's not that cool to use a jimmy bar on our doors," the Custom Cabinets Katherine owner said.
Usher told the NT News his business employs two apprentices, four tradespeople and an office manager.
"I'm not trying to save the world – I just reckon some of these kids need to be built up, not a kicking," Usher told the newspaper.
