A San Francisco woman took crime fighting into her own hands this week when she doused a potential thief with bear spray and delivered him into the handcuffs of police while live-tweeting the whole incident.
Photographer Sonya Yu began tweeting about the intruder Tuesday morning, saying that the suspect had been plaguing the neighborhood with thefts of deliveries.
"He's the one that's been rampantly stealing packages in our neighborhood. I put out a bait package today & will be quietly working," she tweeted.
"My bear spray, bokken, & I are still not intimidated," Yu tweeted. "He's back & strong apparently. We keep bear spray by the door, so my plan is spray, call 911, & mutilate his junk."
A bokken is a wooden sword that was used to train Japanese samurai warriors.
When she saw the suspect approach her house Tuesday afternoon, Yu said she grabbed a can of "bear spray," a powerful pepper-spray like substance, and went out on her balcony, dousing the alleged thief.
He had a knife but did not attack her, she said.
The man fled from Yu's home, but she called police and went after him, according to her Twitter feed.
"He escaped, but not far. The bear spray debilitated him & painted him orange so other cops picked him up within 5 minutes. GOT HIM!" she wrote.

Police need to understand that when a pestiferous and repeat offender operates more than a certain length of time without being caught, the public are bound to stop him themselves.
The very purpose of police is *not* to be the *exclusive* law enforcers, just to aid and augment the citizenry in doing so. Since crime goes on continually, they are paid to keep up a constant pressure on it and to follow criminal acts up with perseverance. This in no way absolves the citizenry from keeping their own neighborhood tidy.
When men were men. Long, long ago. Now we have the ACLU to protect us. :-(

Finally we know what Boobra Boxer’s FR handle is!
Leftie head case.
Yep, still shaking my head over that one.
“.....my plan is spray, call 911, & mutilate his junk.”
I love this gal!!
LMAO
Tweeting while chasing? I see a new product...access to Twitter on my gun.
Now that is AWESOME!
On a Glock, I’ll bet you’ll have people accidentally calling their friends every time they holster their weapon :-)
LOL!
It would be pretty easy, and not expensive, to rig a package with a tracker. You could sow a number of these out in the neighborhood and wait for one to move.
“Should NEVER, EVER brag about ‘setting some one up’, some slick lawyer will bite you in the arse with your own statements....IF they get to her before the DA....”
Dunno ‘bout that. From what has already transpired, look for the lady to yell “Free Drinks!” and catch the Prosecutor as he runs through the front door.
;-)

Oh, dang, that’s gonna leave a mark!
