Victim steals burglars' van

A western Washington state man outsmarts some burglars by beating them at their own game!

When they broke into his home, he left them with no way to getaway.

32-year-old Patrick Rosario was working on a project in his basement last Tuesday afternoon when two burglars broke down the front door.

"It was just a big boom and I heard running footsteps," Rosario said.

He peeked through a crack under the basement door and saw unfamiliar jeans running around, pulling out his TV.

He ducked out the backdoor while calling 9-1-1.

He got to the driveway and saw the getaway van. Listen to the 9-1-1 tape.

Here is the verbatim of the 911 call:

Patrick: "They just broke in and they've been running around in my house and oh look they left the door open with the car. Uh I just drove their car away."

911 Dispatcher: "Don't do that sir! You just stole their car"

Patrick: "Yeah, I know I just stole their car."

911 Dispatcher: "Okay, you can now be charged with that. Stop."

Patrick: "Okay, I'm stopping, i'm stopping."

That's right, the van was running, so Patrick jumped in and drove around the corner to a friend's house.

"It did occur to me as I was jumping in and putting the van into drive that I was actually robbing my robbers, which was a pretty satisfying feeling I gotta say!" Rosario said.

By the time officers arrived, the would-be thieves were gone, Leaving a pile of TVs, electronics, and even rosario's son's tricycle behind. Officers are searching the suspects vehicle for clues.

"It was simultaneously one of the smarter and dumber things I've ever done," Rosario said.

He should've driven it right into a tree.

[Khajit]

This is in America. The robbers would probably be able to sue him if he did that.

[Null]

One of those stories where I expected the guy that got robbed to be sued and put in prison for trying to save his own life.

[Vandalhart]

He should have slashed their tires.

[Akiyama]

This is badass. A crime inside of a crime.. Haha.

[MrW]

Hammurabi's Code applies here in my opinion.

I saw this on GMA the other day lol. He was on the phone laughing with 911, awesome story.

Why not just.... take the keys out? Block the car? Why vandalize or steal? It was pretty ballsy to do, they are about to walk out of the house carrying a tv and see you in the driver seat, probably a bad situation to be in, but idk lol.

Kind of reminds me of that guy in DC who shot an armed robber (before the gun law was changed) and was facing a life sentence. When the press interviewed him all he said was: "I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried out in a box by 6."

[Cream Soda]

I just got the title, lol

[BRP]

911 Dispatcher: "Don't do that sir! You just stole their car"

Patrick: "Yeah, I know I just stole their car."

This is better than any line in any action movie ever.
