Thread: Karma - a true story

So, I just have to relate this story - you couldn't write a story like this.

A neighbour parked his brand new Husaburg dirt bike at another neighbours after a quick ride to shoot the breeze and have a beer. He had only just made it out the back door when he heard the bike start up - by the time he got to the front door, some low life was riding up the street with it...

The Police came around and took all the details, said they would keep an eye out or it. Over the next week, the local constabulary saw - and chased it 3 times, but each time they got away.

The 4th time, the thief wasn't so lucky. They drove past a Police car pulling out from a side street - who, on recognising the bike, gave chase - it lasted 200 metres. As the thief gunned it, he lost control and dropped the bike sliding to a halt in a round a bout. As he stood up, he got cleaned up by a car coming through the intersection... The car ran him over, but it gets better - the driver of that vehicle thought they had stopped on top of him - so reversed up just as he was getting to his feet to do a runner - only to be run over again. With a severe compound fracture of his left femur - ripped out from his knee to his hip - he's now not going anywhere. Ambulance was called and he was carted off to be patched up.

Great story, but it still gets better... The guy who owns the bikes Wife is a nurse at the local hospital. Guess which ward he ended up in...

So, after 5 weeks in Hospital, he was transferred to a rehab unit, he has had a bedside court appearance and has been refused bail, so once he can use crutches, it's off to he remand centre until his day in court.

The Police raided his house, and found drugs and stolen goods there, as well as 5 of his mates, who were arrested on various charges and have had their houses searched - again. With drugs and stolen goods found.

So, the Police are stoked with the result, there is video footage from the patrol car of the whole incident - my mate has seen it un officially as it can't be released until after the court case - can't wait to see it...

So, who believes in Karma? I sure do.

I'm of a similar mindset, I dislike the thought of inflicting hurt to anyone. But even I can make exceptions... This criminal has not only inflicted pain on others who he's stolen from, but is manufacturing/distributing drugs. He deserves a bit of hard love.

A good karma story.
