A clever self-defender meet a dumb crook

Posted by David Hardy · 23 May 2008 09:30 PM

Story here. Tampa store owner Agustin De Jesus is sleeping in his shop when he sees that a guy has broken in, is rifling his cash register, and has left his truck idling outside.

So he jumps into the guy's truck and races away, depriving him of a getaway vehicle. He calls police. So does the burglar, to complain that someone stole his truck. And upon de Jesus returning to the scene, the burglar denounces him as the one who stole his truck, and is of course immediately arrested.

Hat tip to This Is True, a really fun mailing list. I got onto it when the operator was being given grief for having reported some pro-gun stories.

Thanks for the hat tip. For those who would like to see the "trouble" I had with people when I ran some pro-gun stories, they're on my guns and guns 2 pages. There's also a bit of debate on my blog about the topic. One thing I've noticed is that the pro-gun camp usually argues from cool logic, while the anti's usually argue from hot emotion (typically, anger and fear).
