He Tried To Steal A Car, Now He Claims The Real Crime Was The Beating That Followed


A 36-year-old claims eight or nine people beat him up after he tried to steal a car.
Michael Prince says he was struck multiple times in the head with a hammer.
In the past, Prince has boasted of stealing more than $1 million in merchandise.
Stories of crime and consequence often play out in unexpected ways, sometimes blurring the line between victim and offender. In Winnipeg, Canada, Michael Prince, a man with 17 convictions for property crimes, is now suing staff at Dino’s Grocery Mart for allegedly beating him after he tried to steal a car from the store’s parking lot. It’s a bizarre story that underscores how crime rarely works out the way its perpetrators intend.


The incident occurred on February 26, 2024, when 36-year-old Prince reportedly entered the store and proceeded to steal a jacket with a wallet and a key fob. After heading home, police say Prince returned to the grocery shop 30 minutes later to steal the car.

A Failed Getaway

When he arrived on the scene, the suspect found the car in question had been boxed in by two other vehicles. Not dissuaded by this, he entered the car but triggered its alarm. It’s here when Prince claims that eight or nine staff members from Dino’s Grocery Mart started punching and kicking him repeatedly. At least one staffer reportedly struck Prince multiple times in the head with a hammer.

According to the lawsuit filed by Prince, “he suffers from constant fear, anxiety, apprehensiveness, depression and feelings of worthlessness as a result of the conduct of the defendants.” The claim names the store, its supervisor/owner/operator Rajan Varma and eight John or Jane Doe(s)” as defendants.



Prince claims he now suffers from permanent hearing and vision loss, insomnia, panic attacks, migraines, and cranial nerve damage as a result of the attack. He is suing for loss of opportunity to earn an income and “loss of enjoyment of life,” The Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Sadly a Marxist judge and DA will probably side with him in Canada

We learn more from our failures than our successes.

The real blame lies with the attorneys that are ready and willing to take his case.

Was not aware that you could sue for pre-existing conditions.

Would be interesting to see his tax returns during the discovery phase.

There's some hope, because Manitoba isn't Toronto or Ontario.
Their Great Plains provinces are more like our Great Plains and the people still have values and common sense.

I'm surprised he's gotten away with boasting of over a million loonies stolen, and I expect a jury trial wouldn't be in his favor.

There are progressives in another thread that will tell you this guy can kill you too, and that's fine, because you have nicer stuff.

As was told to my friend and me after a similar situation by the police… “This guy fell down hard while running away… Right?… Right? “

Hes a POS, no doubt. BUT, if you aren't threatened, nor the car owner, you can't just go around hitting people with hammers, unless you are threatened. But setting a trap shows you aren't threatened
