Citizens arrest with benefits.

[BenLurkin]

Leave it to the Cleveland PD to arrest the wrong people.

[al baby]

They will be charged with kidnapping

[AndyJackson]

Arrested for what -doing the job the police won’t do?

[Moonman62]

The men got out of cars, pulled out guns and told the teens: “You stole the wrong car...,” according to police reports.

...

Isn’t that right out of a Sopranos episode?

[blackdog]

Did the police set up a perimeter around the trunk and wait?

[Fai Mao]

The police really need to reconsider arresting the car owners.

The next time this happens the punks will get taken to a town 100 miles away and left, naked on a street corner.

Too bad there is no “GoFundMe” for the three adults.
Although they did take vengence a litte too far.
Of all times for someone not to have a phone-camera.

What I would give to see the looks on the teen-thug faces when they realized these three ‘victims’ were not going to take it! Lol!

I bet the cops had problems with them not accidentally smashing the kids heads on the trunk lid as they put them in. Got to follow proper arrest procedure.

[GnuThere]

Drop the charges and send them to police academy.

The police are not here to protect your property. They won’t even try.
And if you try to protect your property, they will arrest you.

I am guilty too. When I was 7 in Santa Monica in 1945, the local kids went into a new home under construction and ripped out a bunch of Lath & Plaster walls. So the next day me and a friend went back to finish the job. Got caught by the owner stuffed into her trunk and taken to the Police station. They put us under a spot light and threatned that we were going to spend the rest of out life in prision if we didn't spill the beans we did, and it cost the other kids $600. Dad not happy

In the hood, that sentence would usually be ended with a profanity; “You stole the wrong car, B*tch!”.

[AndyJackson]

Now there is an idea for fixing car theft. If no one owned a car, no one could steel one. And think what it would do for glowbull warming.

[Karliner]

sheesh double whammy. They get their car stolen capture the brats, drive them to the police and get felony arrest. Maybe a LITTLE overboard but what a suck story.

[lee martell]

$600. back in the 40’s would be like what?
$2100. today? That’s a lotta money if you don’t have it.

[Right Wing Assault]

ripped out a bunch of Lath & Plaster walls

Demo day!

[lefty-lie-spy]

I dunno about that. Read the story. But all parties involved got what they deserved.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Or never seen again......

They should get a medal for catching the car thieves.
