"Lol, just proves life is stranger than fiction - to have your stolen car come pulling up to you!"

I actually had this happen to me. My car was stolen over night. Went out to warm it up before going to work and discovered it missing. I called the police and then I took the wife's car. Before I went to work, I had to stop by the grocery store and pick up a few things for my wife (she was a stay-at-home mom until the kids were old enough to start school).

As I was waiting to make a left turn into the shopping center, I noticed my car approaching from the opposite direction. 3 teens in the car, they pulled into the same parking lot and pulled up to a gas station where the driver stayed in the car and the other two went inside to buy some cigarettes. I followed them into the gas station lot and then walked into the gas station and asked the girl at the counter if I could use her phone (no cell phones at that time) and I called the police again. Then I walked back out past the two teenagers waiting in line at the counter.

I quickly surveyed the car and saw that the car was running, the driver's door was unlocked and that he did have the center emergency break engaged. So, I walked up and pulled open the door and yanked the driver's @$$ right out of the car and threw him down on the ground, planted my knee between his shoulder blades and pulled his hands behind his back while yelling at him the whole time... "YOU STOLE MY F'IN' CAR!!! WTF! YOU STOLE MY F'IN' CAR!!!". The two others came running out and around the corner of the car as if they were going to help their buddy. I turned and glared at them and they both got this "Oh, S*#t!" look in their eyes and ran off around the corner into the woods. Some guy in a plumber's work van was pumping gas and he came over with a drop cord and I hog-tied the driver and waited for the police who showed up a couple of minutes later.

Later that day I called the police to see if they caught the other two and the lady who answered just laughed, "Are you the man that hog-tied that boy this morning? We caught one of them and we know where the other one lives but don't worry about them bothering you again, heck, the two we have in custody are scared sh*tless of you. They thought you were one crazy man..."

True story.

Sorry, I had to share. But, with that said, the article states that the guy saw the people in the car and they fled. What is missing in this article is the owner's description of who was driving his car.
