Now, this happened at 7:45AM in a parking lot of a Tim Horton shop
in Laval.
I was coming back from the restaurant with a coffe in my hand and
proceded to unlock the car's door when I come across an old friend
of mine (did not see him for at least 3 years).
We started to chat and Blah Blah Blah ...
My car was running (thanks to my auto starter, I can AC the car
before getting in) and the doors were all unlock but mind you, I
was standing about 4 feet away in front of the car (always facing
the car because the 3 bags I carry with photo equipment were in it).
Now check this out ...
I see this morronick jer* getting near the car, looking it up for
content and proceding to open the passenger's door. I am in shock
that this guy did not notice me standing about 5 feet from him. My
friend got to him first (in the back of him of course) and I zap on
his side and ask him:
-- Do you need any help ? -- he replies ...
-- No no, it's fine I am just getting my camera to take a picture
-- ...
(one bag was open as I always leave a camera ready to shoot)
So far so good ...
I then told him: -- This is my car and my equipment buddy ... but
before I could finish my sentence, he tries to escape but
unfortunately for him, my huge friend (6' 3' -- 240) was behind him
and glue him to the floor ... I took my cell phone, called 911 and
had the police in very quickly to arrest him (remember, this was a
donut restaurant, there is always a police car next to them).
Police asked me if I wanted to press charges (knowing that he did
not take anything from the car but attempted to ...) I said yes why
not.
Moral of the story, I am happy I was not alone where I would have
probably lost it and kicked the hell out of him (even though, I am
not the violent type) and asked questions after ...
Well, this is for Jonathan F ... 1 crook catched up, several to
go ...
