And I mean in the act of stealing something that belongs to you.

Made a trip to New Orleans Saturday to go to the WWII Museum with some family for my brother-in-law's birthday. Toured the museum and had a great time with some family. We were leaving the museum at around 5:00 to go to Walk On's to get some dinner.

I parked across the street from the museum in one of the lovely paid parking lots of New Orleans. As most of you know, it was extremely cold Saturday, so I cranked my truck with my remote (OT baller) to get the heat going. As I did this, I spotted someone next to my truck, but didn't think too much of it because I parked literally right next to the machine where you pay to park. I have a toolbox on my truck that doesn't lock because it did not come with a key when I bought the truck (my fault for not changing the lock out). Next thing I know, there's a man walking across the parking lot with a tool bag on his shoulder, a box of Armor All products, a ratchet set, and some other tools that I couldn't tell exactly what they were from the distance I was standing. Obviously, I knew all of the stuff he had was taken out of my toolbox. So, I yell at him asking him where he's going with all of my shite? He stops in his tracks and I'm walking his way. As I get by him, he begins to tell me that he found this stuff on the ground next to the truck over there by the machine where you pay. I told him he was full of shite and to give me my shite. After arguing with this guy for a solid minute on where the stuff came from, I just start taking it all out of his hands. He had so much of my stuff out of my toolbox that I had to get my brother-in-law to help me get all of it from this guy.

After getting all of my stuff from this guy he just takes off which I figured he would do. I probably should have called the cops, but I was so pissed that I didn't think about it until he was out of sight. Has anyone else caught someone in act of stealing something you own? And if so, how did you handle the situation?

tracked a guy down using find my iphone. coworker left his phone in the bathroom at our office, a maintenance guy swiped it. we tracked him down to a building across town and drove over. saw a guy leave then the phone started moving on the app, followed that guy to a gas station, he left and the phone moved again so we knew it was him. he stopped at a grocery store next and I confronted him since my co-worker pussed out. pulled a bag out of his trunk with the phone in it, I thought he might be pulling a gun from the bag.

i grew up in a small town where we left doors open and windows down and didn't think much of it. one time my friends and i were all meeting at a restaurant and i got out of the car and started walking towards the entrance when these three tweaker dudes pass me. something was off so i turn around and wait.

my friend pulls in and i ask him to just wait there and keep an eye on me. as i walk back i see one guy in my truck grabbing stuff and just chunking it into the bed of his truck.

i walk up behind him and asked if he needed anything in particular and he runs around to the front of my truck with the door between us and says "nah, man i don't need anything." his friend starts opening the door and i push it back shut, grab the stuff from his trunk, toss it back in my truck, lock the door, and wish them a good day without turning around


beta little bitches. the only time in my life i felt like a badass at something, but i was scared i was going to get shanked the whole time.

I would like to think my reaction would have been the same as yours but something tells me that I would have had a hard time not taking advantage of his hands being full.

There was a chick that lived down the street from me off of W. Parker when I was in school that was a bit crazy, but hot, and owed me $50. It was a Saturday night and I hadn't seen her in a couple weeks. I left my apartment for maybe 10 minutes at most. When I came back she was sitting in my living room and jumped up telling me that she'd been waiting for me all evening. I tell her to leave, she ignores me and follows me to my room where I watch her not 4 feet from me pick up $50 off my dresser and say "here's the money I owe you!" She tried to argue with me when I called her on it. I ended up telling her that I'd let the $50 slide if she left then and I never saw her again. That was 12 years ago now. Haven't seen her since.

I got caught stealing a pack of gum from the checkout line when I was 5. I opened it on the way home and started chewing it. My mom smelled it as we pulled into the driveway and asked me where I got it. We turned around and drove back to Kroger where I had to apologize to the manager. One of those moments you never forget. I felt like scum.

I sure have, multiple times. First was a kid taking something from our yard, we just told the kids parents and dealt with the situation.

The other time the idiots next door (massive home schooled "religious" family, but she just adopted and pocketed the cash) kept stealing our shipped coffee and we finally caught them in the act. Well, come to find out, he was reselling the coffee to people in another state so he got hit with all sorts of fraud and spent a decent chunk of his life in jail.

Got my pocket picked one night in the quarter. I wasn't as drunk as the guy thought I was. Grabbed him and unloaded on him with a haymaker. He fell back against the fence, dropped the wallet, and left. I didn't even have any cash in the wallet. It was just a reaction without thinking. And it was very stupid; I'm lucky I didn't get shot or stabbed.

In high school I worked at a Fred's Dollar Store, (OT Baller). One Saturday my boss told me to get in the "crows nest" to look for shop lifters. The crows nest is little upper room lookout with a one way mirror. Within a few minutes I spot this lady putting multiple kids jeans inside this huge homemade fanny pack under the front part of her skirt.

I got down and pointed her out to my boss who called the police. They waited until she got outside then stopped her and asked her if she had anything, to which she denied. They had a lady cop come in the parking lot and frisk her and pulled out about 10 pairs of jeans from her fanny pack. She was arrested, handcuffed and put in a patrol car.

It was right before school started and I felt bad for the lady as she was probably getting clothes for her kids.
