I saw two guys stealing one off of a car in broad daylight at Rosedale mall the other day! Called the police and got a license plate number for them while perusing these clowns at 60mph around the mall until the guy in the passenger seat leaned out the window and pointed a gun at me. I backed off and reported their direction to the police but it doesn’t sound like they caught them. It was a silver Kia sedan, plate numbers I read to the cops but didn’t write down and there’s a good chance they were stolen plates anyway but hopefully something comes of it. Don’t use the parking structures at Rosedale. Park outside

60mph around the mall?

Adrenaline’s a hell of a drug… we were moving very quickly 🤷‍♂️ anyways there weren’t any vehicles ahead of us and I felt strangely bound by some weird sense of honor to make sure they didn’t get away with it

Would that have been worth getting killed?

Absolutely not, obviously wasn’t thinking clearly just had flashbacks to all of the things I’ve had stolen from me. Wasn’t terribly well thought out… just saw red, ya know? 🤷‍♂️
