In a lot of parts, that would be considered justified.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">But the lawyer who\u2019s representing the car thief said the bystanders used <a href=\"https:\/\/theautowire.com\/2025\/07\/30\/c7-corvette-owner-shoots-would-be-thief-in-the-face\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:excessive force;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">excessive force<\/a>. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.winnipegfreepress.com\/breakingnews\/2025\/08\/28\/man-sues-grocery-store-after-he-tried-to-steal-car-was-punched-kicked-and-hit-by-staffers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Winnipeg Free Press;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Winnipeg Free Press<\/a>, the man was beaten so badly police simply had to follow the trail of blood back to the guy\u2019s house.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Originally, the suspect was at the grocery store where he stole a jacket. Once the thief got back home, he realized a key fob was inside, so he returned to the scene of the crime to take the vehicle as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">When he returned, he found the car boxed in by two others. A smart person would\u2019ve realized that was done to keep someone from taking it, because the owner knew his fob had been stolen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">But this criminal mastermind got into the car anyway, setting off the alarm. That\u2019s when the staff members from the store came out and gave the thief a good beating.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">We guess this is where you\u2019re supposed to feel sorry for the guy, but we really don\u2019t. Nobody made him steal. We\u2019ve personally been victimized by thieves and know from that firsthand experience they love playing the victim card.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">To just top off how great Canada\u2019s justice system has become, the would-be car thief was never charged with a crime. Now he\u2019s suing the owner of the grocery store and eight other defendants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Image via anonymous member\/Facebook<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\"><b>Join our <a href=\"https:\/\/the-auto-wire.ck.page\/79608c7a0b\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Newsletter<\/a>, subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCjZKlp4UFrE_vFa5KPT7wTg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:YouTube page;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">YouTube page<\/a>, and follow us on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/theautowirenews\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Facebook;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Facebook<\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/autos.yahoo.com\/people-and-culture\/articles\/car-thief-sues-people-stopped-183000698.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We live in a crazy, mixed-up world when a car thief who was stopped by regular people is now suing those Good<br \/><button class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/world\/car-thief-sues-people-who-stopped-theft\/08\/09\/2025\/\">Read More &rsaquo;<\/a><\/button><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":52327,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/7Mx0pleE8UR5nGXE7kh0iA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTEyMDA7aD02NzU-\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/the_auto_wire_articles_747\/a18d89b86256cd06a71ac96e2c4fbb85","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52326"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52326"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52326\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52327"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52326"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52326"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newssprinters.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52326"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
