Unarmed? A wedgie works!
Woman uses wedgie to capture suspected thief
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- It took a wedgie and a headlock to pin down a man suspected of breaking into a car. Yvonne Morris, a technician at the Brickyard Animal Hospital, said she chased a man who broke into a co-worker's car, but he kept squirming away from her. The third time, Morris grabbed hold of the man's boxer shorts and pulled. Salt Lake City police said she then she put a headlock on the man until help could arrive. The man was booked into the Salt Lake County jail on suspicion of vehicle burglary, possession of stolen property and outstanding warrants.

Re: Unarmed? A wedgie works!
Lovely story. We had another here a few months ago. A bag snatcher chose the wrong, or right old lady, though in her 68 she was an ex runner and out ran the two young thieves, catching up and getting her bag back, though they escaped.
A story perhaps best kept to themselves. http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2008/10/...2571224014623/
