Had an interesting evening. 
A couple of hours ago I was dropping off a video at a local Blockbuster and ended up in the middle of a snatch and run theft. I was just putting my video in the outside return slot when this guy came rushing out the door a few feet from me with a big box (Playstation console) under his arm. At first I was thinking he was just in a hurry but once he cleared the door he took off running full tilt. I looked up and saw the girl in the store pointing and yelling so I realized that this guy was thieving something. I ran after him toward the street and saw him fall in the middle of the road. 
Then he jumped up, grabbed the loot and ran out of sight down another street behind a bank. This guy was fast (at least a lot faster then me anyway) so I jumped in the truck and followed another guy going after him in another truck. Unfortunately, he was already out of sight and we couldn't find him. When I talked to the police they said they thought he was the same one that had robbed a restaurant and liquor store about 1/2 mile away earlier in the evening. I think he put one of the store clerks in labor too. Her husband was taking her to the hospital after she gave her statement. I keep thinking if I'd just realized what he was doing about two seconds earlier I could have tackled him or clothes-lined him but the brain cells just didn't compute quick enough. Of course with my luck, I'd do something like that and it would turn out to be a guy just hurrying to get home for dinner! 
Anyway, there's another scumbag running around that needs stomped!
