burglary victim steals thieves' van

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.

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.

That IS funny, and as I'm sure we'll soon be reminded... the intended crooks got off light, so far.

Good / Quick thinking! Hats off to this guy! Just wish I could've seen the look on the crooks faces when they found out their (probably stolen) van had been jacked ;D :D :D

Probably if he didn't call it in.

As it is, he just "Relocated it"
