Washington Man Vs. Thief

A doorbell camera captured the dramatic moment a man was almost knocked down by a getaway driver in his own driveway after fighting off a possible would-be thief outside his home. Police said Sunday that one person has been arrested in connection with the case and are still investigating the incident last month in South Hill, Washington, south of Tacoma, which has gone viral since the footage from Eric Smith's Ring camera was released.

Smith was notified by the Ring app that there was activity outside his house March 3. He ran outside and confronted a man who was in his truck. It is unclear whether the man intended to steal the truck or items inside it, making it a so-called car prowl incident.

The footage shows the man immediately running toward a waiting car, but he is grabbed by Smith and pulled to the ground. As the scuffle continues, the waiting car drives straight into Smith, who was able to balance on the hood of the advancing vehicle and land on his feet unharmed as it drove into his parked truck. The car then speeds away.

I wouldn't be going out without any kind of weapon as too many crazy people out there at night.

A gun would've definitely changed the outcome

To the homeowner going to prison.

An OBTW - do you see the phantom tire marks on the driveway next to the truck? Guy uses excessive amounts of tire shine.
