Here’s a neat story out of Bellevue, Washington: a former Washington Mutual employee turned the tables on burglars who were trying to rob his house, sneaking out the back door and stealing their getaway van. Results: two startled burglars, all his electronics left in a pile by the door (since the burglars weren’t going to try to carry his stuff away on foot), and a bunch of high-fives from the police. To be sure, he got lucky, but still—you have to applaud his quick thinking and presence of mind.
