WTF?

It's not like the OP broke into a house and caught someone doing drugs or something. He witnessed a criminal act and reported it. Anyone who has a problem with that needs shooting into the sun.

You did the right thing. Don't worry about it. There probably won't even be a trial. He sounds like a small time opportunist type thief. He'll just get out and do the same sort of thing again next time he needs a few bucks and sees what looks like easy pickings.

Oo man if I wouldn't get banned for doing so, I'd definitely make the "So I got arrested last night.." parody thread.

And hopefully somebody will catch him and step up again.

I think sao123 agrees with you, he's referring to the typical ATOT attitude that everyone should mind their own business (look for any thread about cheating in school for examples). I half expected to find people criticizing the OP when I read this thread.

i dont have a problem with what the guy did...

Eff that man... For all I care... you could tag everyone in the world with GPS, have worldwide sattelite surveillance, and solve every crime that ever happens, and i'd be happy. (i'm kidding, of course)

I have a problem with all the mind your own busniess privacy freaks. --Mugs got it right.

No Sh*t, testify. Im sure this guy has a long list of people he blames for his situation. If he really had his criminal sitch together, he wouldnt be doing petty crimes. But since they caught him red handed, the police would be the princible eye witnesses.

I know he does, I'm just pre-empting any posts from the land of stupid.

You totally did the right thing, especially because some petty thief broke into my car a few days ago and there were no witnesses. Makes you feel so violated.

My roommate and I were discussing this about a week ago. We both decided to chill in town for a bit before xmas. We go to a big college town. Honestly, it would be easy pickings. Most of the apartments and almost all of the houses are horriblly undersecured. Plus think of how many people leave expensive electronic equipment and such just sitting around for the 3 weeks everyone is off. A thief could make out like a bandit.

Hell yes, you did the right thing. Too many people are too lazy or timid to call the cops/help a guy getting mugged/what-have-you.

The Good Samaritan parable is still all too true today - too many people will just walk by and ignore a problem because it's "not theirs". How would you like it if you were the one being assaulted?
