Great story. Glad you handled it safely and not take it on your own. Reminded me of a story from a forum member from Hawaii (if I recall correctly) who set up his own sting operation to recover his unique finished Gram Lights.

This is great! Another idiot down. Best thing you told the cops is that he had weapons. Other wise they would have showed up later.

When I had to park my car outside I Was equally insane about checking on it. That being said
This is an epic victory, and I know NYPD likes to get a few free punches or kicks in, especially if you run! |

Congratulations on the catch and I am most impressed with your dogged determination.
Luckily for me, things like this is not as common in South Arkansas but that may be because we still have the 2nd Amendment down here.

Looks like "Karma" paid a visit to the perp that evening. That's one way to say, . Props to you and as John "Hannibal" Smith used to say, "I love it when a plan comes together." (A-Team Reference).

Hah wow that is some serious determination. Glad you caught the guy! Do you know how long he will serve? I'm assuming you got his name down and everything?

If I caught someone stealing my rims, you can bet that I wouldn't give two $hits about being politically correct when referring to their ethnicity.

From the orig post: "the same mexican guy" (my emphasis)
For all I know, the OP is as racist as George Wallace and he was lumping all H/Ls together, but I see no evidence of such in his comment. Granted, the nationality of the perp is not really an important factor but I see nothing wrong with noting that fact. If some Redneck stole my stuff and then tried to do it again, I'd probably say he was a Redneck in my post.
