Came across this story in The Times today and it made me smile so I thought I'd share it with you all.

'An 81 year old man chased a shoplifter on his bicycle and crashed into him to stop him getting away. The man had seen the 29 year old thief fleeing a supermarket in The Hague, chased by two employees. The cyclist injured his hand and shin.'

It doesn't say what happened to the thief (arrested I assume), but good on the old guy I say.

Fred,

That's exactly the way it happens here in the states.
