 A crime wave hits [[Springfield]]: Many people report having personal items stolen, among them [[Lisa]]'s saxophone. The spree is the work of a cat burglar who leaves his business card at his crime scenes. Even with this clue, the police are powerless to catch him as they are overwhelmed by all of the crime going on. [[Homer]] decides that he should find the criminal in order to get Lisa's stolen saxophone back. He starts his own vigilante group, but they cause more crimes than they prevent. When they find out the burglar's next robbery will be stealing the world's largest cubic zirconium from the museum, Homer plans a stakeout. However, he is distracted by a group of underage kids drinking. Instead of watching the museum, Homer joins the kids' party and gets drunk while the cat burglar breaks into the museum and steals the zirconium.

	The episode has received mostly positive reviews from television critics. The authors of the book ''I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide'', Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood, thought it was "a bit lacking in focus", but it contained "a number of satisfying set-pieces — we like Professor Frink's walking house security system — and displays Wiggum at his all-time most useless." DVD Movie Guide's Colin Jacobson wrote: "After the many plots of the prior show, 'Vigilante' maintains a much tighter focus. It's not quite as wonderful an episode as its immediate predecessor, but it's strong nonetheless. Much of the humor comes from Homer's newfound power and abuse of it. If nothing else, it's a great program due to Homer's reaction to Lisa's jug playing." Patrick Bromley of DVD Verdict gave the episode a grade of B, and Bill Gibron of DVD Talk gave it a score of 4 out of 5.		The episode has received mostly positive reviews from television critics.
