Not the brightest thing I have done in a while

So last night I heard a noise out front of my house so I took a look out the window. There was a car across the street that was pulling out of a parking lot with no lights on. Which I thought was odd so I kept watching the car as it turned into the alley next to my house. I then saw brake lights but didn't have a good view from where I was at so I moved to the back window. When I got to the back window to my amazment the car was now in my back yard right next to the shed. I ran down stairs and without thinking at all or grabing a weapon I rushed out the door slaming it behind me. At that moment I saw someone running down the alley away from my house I started dialing my cell phone to call 911. I then began to chase the guy down the alley while I was on the phone with the 911 operator. I ended up loosing the guy when he went around a corner, but after I got back to my place still on the phone with 911. I started to think about how stupid that was to actually chase the guy. Long story short the car was stolen and as far as I know they did not catch the guy.

Yep.

First Sgt Jack Record taught me a lesson about that years ago.

They came into our AO and attacked, I slipped out and came around and chased them down, they had an ambush waiting.

Lesson learned.

Same applies here to you - you corner that guy and what has he got to lose - you end up dead.

Not worth it, gangbangers don't forget.
