Just got burglarized, gave chase and caught the bad guys!
We were just burglarized. My heart is still pounding so I will have to fill in the details later.
1) Burglarized 2) Gave chase 3) Perps went off road and got hung up then took off on foot 4) I caught 1 singlehandedly while 8 cops were only a mile away. 5) The guy I caught gave up the names of his 2 cousins. I am still shaking. Speedy

Good for you for catching the SOB!!
Violating someone's house is just wrong and, IMO, you've got whatever the resident wishes to do coming to you. Now, grab a stiff drink, congratulate yourself and keep an alert eye until the 2 cousins are caught. |

You rock - that takes serious balls. You have a free drink on me for doing the world a favor and being man enough to look out for yourself!
Good on you for not beating the guy to a bloody pulp (I probably would have) or getting shot (or having to shoot someone) in the process. Go buy yourself a lottery ticket!

Speedy,
Well done! (Maybe a bit foolhardy, taking off after three guys, but the adrenalin does get up a bit). Friends of mine have a garage and responded to a silent alarm one night. They called the RCMP on the way and, when they got there surprised two guys. They caught one in a brief chase on foot, dragged him back to the garage placed him on the floor and restrained him by lowering the arms of the vehicle lift over him. RCMP officers who responded had a great laugh. Glad all went well. Les

Well, Speedy, your man card status is now permanent and can never be revoked!
They should have known better than to break into a house owned by a guy named "Speedy." That had FAIL written all over it - LOL! angela
