Wake up at 4:30 to go for a piss. Came back to bed and i herd my Door open, and the dinging of the open door.(electrical gitlch). So i grabbed the portable phone and went outside to check things out.

When i crept up to my car the little bastered was inside taking out my deck.I called the cops witch are down the street, about three minute drive.


i slamed the drivers door scaring the $hit out of him. Then proceded to lean all of my 280lbs against the door. The cops arrived. And it just happens to be a friend of mine. We play ball together, and help each other out with car problems. I said "i got something you might want to check out" his responce "you called me to show me you got something new" [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] Nope look inside "he smilled."

We chatted after he was cuffed, and put in the cruser. They have been trying to catch this guy for a while in the area. So for i know they charged him with B&E, Theft, Vamdolism.

He asked me how i caught him and proceded to tell him tho whole story.

nice!!

You should get a reward Jettalemon!

I can just see all 280lbs of you "creeping" up on the thief. Great story.

Props to you man.

I'm sure you called him directly. No 911???

One question...Why didnt he just bail out the passenger door?

because, there is no such thing as a smart theif ;)

Good work man. AT least if he tried bailing out hte other side you could have busted his nose open in "Self-Defense".

the worst thing about it he will be out doing it again tonight
and all he will probably get is probation

mad props!!

Reminds me when I lived in my old house. It was in what was considered a 'good area' but just over the bridge was welfare housing. Cops told me if you lived in the first two square blocks this side of the river you were susceptible, otherwise the area was 'pretty good'. Twice in the span of 11 months I caught thieves in my garage.

The first time the idiot sliced his arm open on the rear window he broke to get in and damn near bleed to death in my garage. 'Honest officer, he was bleeding when I caught him!'

The second was some stooped 15 year old kid looking to steal a bike. He's like 'I'm not from around here, I'm from vancouver, I'm looking for Wellington Crescent!' I'm like, 'You're not gonna find it in my garage!'

Why is it always after the fact that we think, you know I shouldn't have called the cops, I shoulda just beaten the ever living ... out of him.
