Elderly man confronts a thief in his garage, whacks him in the head with a shovel, then mocks him on Craigslist. No word on whether or not it was a Gran Torino parked in the garage
BOONVILLE, IN (WFIE) - One victim of theft, fights back and then turns to Craigslist to tell the suspect he's ready for him to come back.
Police said the Boonville man noticed his garage light was on in the middle of the night. His wife said he went to turn it off and found a man inside.
She tells 14 News the man came at her husband and that's when he grabbed a shovel to fight him off. After the altercation, the man posted this message on Craigslist:
"THIS message is for the thief & his friends that has been stealing tools and misc items around our neighborhood & town. How does it feel to get whacked with a long handle shovel by an old man, not once, but twice? If you want to try again, come on back.
I posted this in the free postings, since this guy thinks everything in our community and my garage is free? If you have a friend that is all black and blue, bruised up with a lousy excuse. He may be a thief!"
