So there's this construction site...

So anyway, construction site, thief tries to take a tool, workers give chase...


Then you want to wait for it...

"Some construction workers catch a thief trying to steal a drill from a job site in Dallas. A chase and shenanigans ensue."

A drill? I wonder what type of drill it was that was worth stealing.

Mookalsays...

Anything is worth stealing, if you're a thief.

Work site and worker theft is very common. A friend of mine had over $1k of tools/gear ripped out of his secured canopied pickup while parked at home. Lock boxes etc only go so far if they can be ripped/cut out of your rig. Casing a site or following workers home is very real.

Think twice before you purchase that sweet deal on tools at the pawn shop.

Idiots, the thief and the construction workers.

-Jumping onto of a moving vehicle
-Punching the windscreen(not possible to break with your hand).
-Holding on the car as it continues to gain serious speed
-RAMMING SAID VEHICLE (causing $$$$ damage to your own car)while your colleague is still hanging onto the front.

For what? a $200 bit of machinery? Not even worth the damage you'd do to your hand from punching the windscreen (considering you're a construction worker and your income relies on working hands!) let alone the potential brain damage, disability or death if you come off the bonnet.

I'm also not sure how the law would interpret ramming a car off the road, or flipping it, or squishing it against other cars and causing more collateral than the tool is worth (which you'd have to do to make it stop), just to stop a petty thief. And honestly if you damaged my car to stop a thief, you'd be paying for my car.

Do these people think they are living in an action movie? I know the Terminator jumped onto a car and punched through the windscreen, but they used a hydraulic ram and hid it with special fx.

Idiots.

Would love to see how this ends though cause I'd be very surprised if everything /everyone was fine.

True, but the Terminator was pretty awesome

I was selling a car for $1200 on the classifieds, and a guy offered me a $3000 tool set for it. I wasn't that interested in selling that I'd accept stolen gear.
Someone might say "How do you know it was stolen?".
And it's because he could easily have gotten 2000 for it within a day of posting with all the home mechanics and shops around.
