“A man is dead after he was run over by the driver of a car from which he was allegedly trying steal a catalytic converter in Palmdale.”

“Allegedly” Maybe he was just under the car checking the oil filter with a reciprocating saw.

Like Harry said:

“When a naked man is chasing a woman through a dark alley with a butcher knife and a hard on, I figure he isn’t out collecting for the Red Cross.”

I don’t think they have an open carry law in California, so would she have needed a concealed carry license . . .

Investigators discovered that the driver of the Ford had been asleep in her vehicle when she awoke to a man sawing off her vehicle’s catalytic converter, and she immediately put her car in reverse, the LASD said. After she “felt a bump like she ran something over,” she stopped her vehicle and called 911 for assistance for the man, the release said.

When I take an afternoon nap in my car. And if something gets under my wheels, I always floor it...lol

If this turns out to be her x, I won't be overly surprised.

Nah. She’s almost certainly what those in the trade call “Judgment Proof”.

Put another way, she ain’t got no money.

“The driver has NO responsibility and should feel no grief.”

True, but a lot easier said than done. She will feel grief for a long time and struggle to rationalize that what she did was ok and logical.

“awoke to a man sawing off her vehicle’s catalytic converter”

I wonder if she actually saw him? To do that, she would have had to get out of the car. Or did she hear the screeching of the saw blade on metal and decide to move the car?

Most likely thought it was cats fornicating under the car and she drove away to scare them off.

There was a similar case a month or so ago...guy under a Mercedes stealing the catalytic convertor when the jack slipped and he was crushed.

Mercedes will not be tampered with.

Every vehicle thief deserves this sort of death.

Sudden death. I suppose his vax status is irrelevant.
