I found this story on another forum, and with all the bike stealing going on I thought that I would post a good guy wins story.
So, I am sitting in my apartment checking e-mails when i hear some commotion outside my bedroom window. i open it up and look out, and see what appears to be a bloodied up and bruised kid with his face on the asphalt groaning in pain. Also laying on the asphalt is a familiar bike that i recognized as belonging to my neighbor.
apparently he was trying to steal my neighbors bike.
heres what happened:
Apparently my neighbor was preparing to leave for work. his bike was warming up in the alley as he ran upstairs to get some paperwork.
As the bike idled in the alley, witnesses report a white sedan approach and stop in front of the alley way, with a female driving and one male passenger.
The male passenger exits the sedan and proceeds toward the bike, mounting and ultimately attempting to steal the vehicle.
During this time, owner returns to find thief on bike and forces him off the vehicle physically. the thief attempts to assault the owner with a pair of metal knuckles. owner defends & fight him until the punk finally submits and is forced to the ground.
this is about the time i arrived.
the owner calls the police, throws the knuckles aside so that the thief cant re-use them. the suspect is so messed up he doesn't even try to run or fight back further.
5 minutes later the police storm up with tasers at the ready. with lasers aimed at his chest, he offered no further resistance. he was cuffed, witness reports were taken, and CSI snapped photos.
after the ambulance arrived, he was taken to the hospital. after a few bandages, im sure hes going right to HB lockup and booked on several charges, including assault with a deadly weapon and grand theft auto.
The driver of the white sedan was not immediately identified; but the make, model, and license plate was recovered by several witnesses. After a short search the driver will almost certainly face criminal charges as well
this is one day the good guys win!
