You Go, Girl. Getting to where a common punk thug can't even scare girls any more.

Its so awesome to see that there are still a few people who do the right thing when they see something wrong!

I don't think we have to guess what this thief's position will be in the jail cell.

Interesting how sometimes you just have a feeling about someone, like the one this woman described having about the thief before the crime occurred.

I've had that feeling about a few strangers I've seen on the street. Even more interestingly, the times when I've had that feeling, the person about whom I had the feeling shortly ended up being someone about whom I had to make a judgment. For instance, on one of these occasions, right after I had a bad feeling about someone, that same someone asked me for a ride. Based on the feeling, I declined.

I live across the street in the Brickyard condos. One thing about Brickyard now that Mervyns is gone is you have this huge, unmonitored parking lot that is becoming a place for petty crime--graffiti and burglary. Too bad. The sad thing is this guy will be out in a few days breaking into other cars, quite possibly mine! Next time, slam the thief's face to the ground and break a few teeth out, he'll think twice about coming around again.

Man, this guy had better lie his little face off if any of his fellow inmates asks him how he got caught.

Neighbor is correct. Because the legislature is refusing to properly fund the court system and the prison, this guy will likely be out soon. The legislature thinks this saves money, but the reality is that it just passes the cost onto the citizens who will be victimized next.

Way to go, Yvonne! Good job!

good thing the guy didn't have a knife in his pocket that he could pull out and jab in her neck like most guys who fit that profile would at least have.

Thank goodness....

things worked out for the positive and not the negative when it comes to safety....

This is as good as the story on Good Morning America today about that guy who thwarted a burglary by stealing the robbers' getaway car!

Kudos to those people out there taking on the bad guys!

Too bad

She couldn't have given him a swirly and a noogie, too.

You go, girl!

Which is worse?

Going to jail, or getting caught and "wedgied" by a woman much smaller than you?

Way to go, girl!

Nice Job. We need to find a way to the SCUM locked up.

Ha!

Isn't this "double jeopardy?"-- Having to pay twice for the same crime? I don't know which is worse, jail or an atomic wedgie! This is a great story! What an embarrassment to the receiver of the wedgie!
