Super-Recidivist Car Burglar Killed By Victim

Vigilance_Committee_300.gifAs a former resident of San Francisco, I must admit I fantasized about stringing up the thievin' crackhead scumbag who busted my car window to steal 46ยข out of the glovebox, and after the third or fourth such incident, even the most tolerant San Franciscan considers recruiting a bunch of fellow Dirty Harrys to clean out the joint. However, in most cases this sort of thing never gets beyond the grumbling "why, I oughta..." stage. Until now, when Allen Broussard, arrested for car break-ins eight times in the last 18 months, was blown away by the enraged owner of a car stereo Broussard was extracting. [San Francisco Chronicle]
