BELLEVUE, Wash. (AP) - A man in Washington state made sure a
pair of burglars didn't get away with his three flat-screen
televisions - he moved their getaway car.
Patrick Rosario was in the basement of his Bellevue home on
Tuesday when he heard the burglars upstairs.
The Seattle Times says the 32-year-old Rosario, who had been
laid off from his job as a Washington Mutual manager, called 911
while he sneaked out of the house.
He saw a white van sitting in front of his house with the motor
running and the keys in the ignition, and he got in and drove it to
a friend's house.
Police say the burglars left the televisions, a laptop computer
and a jewelry box by the door and took off on foot.
The sheriff's office said no arrests had been made.

I can 100% assure every one,we would not have had to wait on the police for help at my home,the only help that would have been needed,would have had to come from the “Meat Wagon"to help carry them out.

Where did you get the assumption that I assume they are black?

Well Shea, I’ve never had the desire to STEAL A CAR…and I’m 100% sure that even in this situation I would not STEAL A CAR. Even if it belonged to a robber, it’s still STEALING.

I guess my mother raised me better than yours?

@Great1

Why are you assuming they were black?

Great one you are right about that. Yes, a man ripped us off $15,000.00 and the police say it’s nothing they can do about it….if I did it though I would be eating the oatmeal and metro. And Kx you can say what you would do now but you don’t know what you would do until you are put into that situation….
