Tony Panagiotou didn't tell his sons to calm down and go back to sleep after they woke him up in the middle of the night and told him about a plan to retrieve some audio equipment they thought had been stolen.
Instead, the 59-year-old grabbed a shotgun and drove off with his sons George, 22, and John, 18, to a south-east Melbourne home where DJ equipment they had rented out through their business was being advertised for sale on Gumtree for $3500.
