I almost got caught up in a moment of ignorance when I caught someone stealing my plates from my car, right in front of where I live. 15 feet from my door.
It happened when I was coming home (my girlfriend gave me a ride). I see my sister come up to us and she said someone was trying to steal my plates. They got one and they dropped the other when my mom yelled out at them.
Me and my sister were ready to throw down. She was crazy mad she went inside to get a knife. My mom told her don't be stupid. I walked around for a few minutes just looking, and to calm me down. I don't know what I would have done if I caught him. This is the third time in the last year that someone has stolen something from my car.
It took an hour to contact the police to report it. I should've waved down the cop car that passed by. I have a description and the first four numbers on his plate, but it probably wouldn't help since that car was probably stolen too.
