Brazen!!
The security guy did a good job.  Hopefully he got the car's plates and they were legit.  The station wagon with the thief drove off through a red light.
Some poor sod has a bike with a smashed up lock- looked like he was hammering the headstock.

In Australia, these days, we're (the law/courts) are far too soft on thieves ! (IMHO)   :Stirpot

Check out the typical reaction to a motorbike thief getting caught in the act in Sai Gon.  :rofl   (I've witnessed this same sort of thing happening several times while living there)

A little bit of 'street justice' was administered by the bike's owner and a couple of the locals first.    :clap :clap :clap

After this typical demonstration of general disapproval, THEN the locals call the Cong An. (police)  :whistle
Seems to work a lot better than the 'slap on the wrist' treatment thieves usually get from the courts in Australia.  :OldMan
