Victim Overturns Portable Toilet With Truck Thief Inside
Wednesday September 3, 2008
Sometimes courts dispense justice.
But sometimes it's the public who gets the real punishment right.
Which of the two is more effective?
You can judge for yourself after an incident in Tampa, Florida that has many applauding a would-be victim who decided to fight back.
It began on Saturday when a man walked into a parking lot and broke into two pick-up trucks. He got away with the first intrusion but during the second, the owner caught him in the act. The two men began to fight but the thief broke free and made a beeline for a nearby construction site, with the rig's infuriated owner in hot pursuit.
With nowhere to hide in the open area, the crook took refuge in the one place that seemed to afford some shelter - a portable toilet that was at the scene for the convenience of the absent workers.
It was a poor choice for a hiding place.
The victim quickly figured out where the man had gone and decided to turn the tables on him - not to mention the temporary outhouse. He flipped it over with the guy still inside, covering him in a huge amount of human waste.
Police were called and took the now disgusting man away, charging him with several burglary related offences.
It's not clear if he'll face any other legal troubles but authorities report that he's already in deep enough - er - trouble with the law.
