It is not every day you catch someone stealing your car. What would you do if you saw someone driving away in your prized vehicle? Here is a great story about this very scenario.

Police are looking for a suspect in a car theft who took off in a hail of gunfire from the victim, who hit the front and rear driver's side tires on his own car.

The victim came out of his residence to see his dark green 1997 Buick LeSabre being stolen. In his defense, first he pleaded with the driver, the suspect, to stop. The windows were up. He was yelling at him and the thief continued pulling out of the parking lot. That's when the victim fired 5 to 10 times at his own car, hitting two of the tires.

The car thief, shirtless fled on the freeway where he was pursued and later lost by a witness.

How do you feel about a victim firing shots at his own car? Keep in mind that the victim was lawfully carrying his weapon and fortunately, no one was hit by the gunfire.

Do you think mandatory theft prevention classes for all public school children would have prevented this situation? I would like to think that theft education, combined with strong parenting and good morals would keep our world a better place to live in.
