The only winner here is the ice scraper.

Edited headline to make it clear that the victim attacked the thief after finding the thief in traffic later on.

    Not that I’m a fan of vigilante justice (depending on the circumstances), but this was likely the only way for this woman to get her car back. I guarantee the police weren’t going to do shit about it.

      That’s what I’m thinking. I’ve heard of cases where the owner has a gps tracker on a stolen item and can tell the cops which corner of a house or garage the item is in. Cops just shrug.

        My company had someone jack a huge box truck, strip it, and leave the shell in a parking lot. The last driver had earbuds in the truck that pinged to a car shop down the road. We also have dual gps trackers in the truck that showed its trip. Cops did nothing.
