FULL TITLE: Man spots his stolen car being driven through New Jersey then cuts the driver off before viciously beating him in the street
A man who spotted his stolen car on his way to filing a report at the police station chased down the driver and beat him in the street.
The owner was driving a minivan in Bayonne, New Jersey, on Sunday when he spotted his stolen Honda Civic on the road and started following it, police said.
The owner eventually cut in front of Ephraim Diaz, who was behind the wheel of his car, and beat him in the street in a vicious confrontation captured on film.

Some guys need an ass-whipping.
In a way, it’s kind of too bad that this needs to be a news story rather than the natural conclusion to the problem
If you watch the video it appears the phase "viciously beating him" is a bit of an overstatement. It looks like the owner got in a few good licks in before the car thief got up and ran away.

beat him in the street for a Honda Civic?????
Was it gold plated???
It was his car. He owned it.
> beat him in the street for a Honda Civic?????
I’d beat someone if they stole my 1973 Ford Pinto.
Bayonne? That’s in the Universal Fart isn’t it? Seems like I recall people joking about eau du Bayonne.
Given the people I've known from Jersey, any excuse is enough.
Don't worry, after driving it for a couple a blocks, the thief would turn around and return it!
What kind of idiot steals a Honda Civic?....................
Agree
I had one.
I was never lucky enough to get it stolen...................

Harry Callahan: And anybody can tell I didn't do that to him.
Chief: How?
Harry Callahan: Cause he looks too damn good, that's how!
I was telling my son and a friend that I often leave the car running and door wide open on my Pontiac Vibe to see some piece of human debris try to steal it and fail.
It’s a manual.
You may not believe it but Pintos are collectible vehicles now. They’re starting to get expensive, the well-kept, unmolested ones are at least. The holy grail of Pintos is a loaded Pinto Squire wagon with 4 speed manual, 1971-1973. The 2.0 litter engine is regarded as superior and those federally mandated big bumpers are thought to have hurt the looks of them compared to the slim ones they had in those first three years.
It’s his car he paid for it.
