Do you think it would do any good to report this to the police?
eventhough nothing happened, they may have reports of similar incidents of stolen cars and this might help them to find the guys since you saw what they look like and the vehicles they were driving.

I think you should at least give a call.

I'm glad your car didn't get stolen. Anywhere I take my SS, I always back it in since it's RWD. It makes it just a tad bit harder to tow it from the front. With the way things are now days, we all need to keep an eye out for our cars.

Innocent people dont run. Thats a fact. Guilty people with bad intentions run.

Im glad your car wasnt taken, I dont drive my car unless I am always able to keep an eye on it. If I take it to go eat I always sit where I can see it.

I beg to differ. Scared people run, innocent or not.

The point I was trying to make, not knowing all the details, is what if the car they were after wasn't his or if their intentions were different? Just another scenario to think about.

The sad part is even if they were hooked up and taking off with your car, you still cant shoot em. You'd have to call the cops and wait for them to take your info.

Sad... i agree with you guys, a couple people get shot stealin peoples ****, and their buddies would think twice.

They were scared because they didnt want to get caught stealing. If they were so called repo-guys they wouldn't have ran they'd say we're here to take your car hook it up and leave. Instead you have some shady looking people with a jank *** tow vehicle waiting for no one to be around so they can steal the mans car.

Thank you for confirming. Innocent, guilty, doesn't matter. You run when you're scared.

We chased a guy in the parking lot of a bar in Orange when we thought he was trying to break into a friend's car. Turns out, it was dark, he went to the wrong car. Ran b/c he was scared, not guilty.

You freaking chased a guy and it sounds like there was more then one of you when you say WE. So ya Im sure that guy was scared. The op said he started to walk back towards his car and they took off running with a rigged up tow vehicle. Why would they run if they weren't planning on stealing the mans car?

I'll say it slower: before knowing all the details (didn't know there weren't other cars around at the time), I stated maybe their intentions were different.

Then the thread diverged into why someone would run, and I stated it's because they're scared, not necessarily b/c they're guilty.

We chased him because he ran when I yelled "what the **** are you doing". I didn't just start playing ring around the cars with the guy.

Well if your car was parked in a parking lot and spot two guys around it scoping it out, and one of the guys has a ghetto tow rig what would you think they're intensions were? trying to wash your car? and when you go to approach them they take off like a bat outta hell. I'll agree to disagree, I think guilty people run because they dont want to get caught and face the consequences.
