Thief Compliments Victim in Hand-Written Note


Matt Neary of Fargo, North Dakota found that a thief had stolen CDs and his wallet out of his truck — but he did leave a pleasant note complimenting Neary’s taste in music:

"You have amazing taste in music.
Don’t worry about your credit cards and diver’s license — I know I can’t use them…after tonight, at least.

Seriously though
Lock your car in the future" .Source

Couple Make Burglar Clean Their Home

What would you do if you came home to find your house ransacked, and worse, that the burglar was still inside?

A couple from Montgomery, Alabama, did what some people might find unthinkable – they made the burglar clean up the mess he had made at gunpoint while they waited for the police to arrive.

“Tears just rolled down my face as I walked in and saw everything gone and piles of trash all over my home,” Mrs. McKinnon told her local newspaper the Montgomery Advertiser.

When her husband walked into another room to check what was missing he came face to face with the burglar, who was wearing one of Mr. McKinnon’s hats.

“My husband Adrian caught the thief red-handed in our home. And what is even crazier, the man even had my husband’s hat sitting right on his head,” Mrs. McKinnon said.

Mr. McKinnon held suspect Tajuan Bullock at gunpoint and made him sit down until he decided what to do.

“We made this man clean up all the mess he made, piles of stuff, he had thrown out of my drawers and cabinets onto the floor,” Mrs. McKinnon said.

When the police arrived the work-shy burglar had the cheek to complain to them – about having to clean up his mess at gunpoint. Source

Thief Steals Camper with Sleeping Owner Inside


A thief made off with a caravan in Skövde in southern Sweden . To his surprise he later found that the caravan’s owner was asleep inside at the time.
The hapless thief took his chance to make off with the caravan parked at Billingsluttningen in Skövde by connecting it to the back of his car, according to Sveriges Radio Skaraborg.
But little did he know that he was also taking the caravan’s owner along for an impromptu nightime drive.
The thief discovered his unwelcome booty only after making his getaway, when he pulled over and attempted to force entry into the mobile home.
The caravan’s owner, who had been abruptly woken from his slumber when his holiday abode had been fastened to the thief’s car, then screamed at the would-be intruder.
The resultant shock was enough to persuade the thief to flee the scene, empty-handed.
