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

Probably if he didn't call it in.

As it is, he just "Relocated it"
