NEWS: Dumbass Steals Car, Gets Caught by Car Forum Members

That's what I said, isn't it? Now get goose-stepping. We've got a car thief to catch.

Ja Herr! Werden wir den Tiger nehmen, oder wird ein Panzer genügend sein?

Ich werde mich mit der Luftwaffe sofort in Verbindung setzen!

as long as they didn't shoot themselves in the foot, procedure wise by videotaping it and spreading it around the internets, I say good on them. The gloating is a bit much, but I can't say I wouldn't be feeling or acting a little self satisfied if I caught someone who had stolen a car from me.

basically, if the thief is able to get off on a legal technicality stemming from the way he was caught...then I'd feel like a damn fool...otherwise, fair game.

I'm a firm believer in the theroy that if you fuck with a man's car...you deserve everything you get...legal or otherwise.

I'm more or less a pretty easygoing guy (in person)...but if you fuck with my vehicle in any way...we're gonna tangle. I'm serous...I flip out on those people who put leaflets under your windshield wiper in parking lots.

It's not your car...don't fucking touch it.

It's like the new telegraph an' shit.

i can understand the gloating.

a few years back, my bike was stolen, and i'm pretty into biking so this wasn't a huffy or some shit, it was a flatland bike built up part-by-part by myself and a friend who had just died while backcountry snowboarding, leaving that bike as my only physical memorial of him.

when a friend and i eventually found the thief, we didn't kick him within an inch of his life because we had stumbled upon him him half a block from the police station (attack a crackhead or grab the cops isn't a tough choice) but man... the anger. the feeling of all that pent up frustration finally having a target, and that target being an utter douchebag. if the guys in the video had found the guy who stole that car and videotaped themselves beating him mercilessly, i wouldn't have batted an eye.

still, the responsible (and good karma) thing to do was go get the cops, so i commend them for a) being smart and resourceful in finding the dude and b) pinning the car in one spot until the cops came without doing anything more than taunting the guy.

Ironsides?

Somehow, I thought it was going to have something to do with this...

I have to say, if presented with that situation, I'd totally do that too.

Yup. Nice analysis. I shot myself right in the ass. Not the right word at all. It really is a magic word, isn't it?

Apologies.

Ya, I'm on the fence about that one.

Can you imagine the look on the cops face when that got reported?

God, I hope that's real!
