#58 That’s A Scary Sight
My stepdad used to run the Iron Man Triathlon equivalent in our area. He also had the absolute conviction found in his generation that justice was always on his side. I should also note that he always slept naked (which I learned as a result of this incident). One late summer night, two idiot kids tried to steal his truck out of his driveway.
He sees this happening from his bedroom window and goes tearing out of the house, totally nude, and chases these two terrified kids for blocks screaming, “I’M GONNA GET YOU!” He tackles one and the cops were on the scene in moments. Obviously, some concerned neighbor noticed this happening at 2 AM in our sleepy little town. God only knows what that 911 call sounded like.
Probably a good thing the cop already knew the kid as a car thief. He hung out with the sobbing teen and suggested my stepdad sit in the cruiser til his wife could bring him some pants.
