Thief steals rig, owner follows in a pick up truck and eventually - hits the thief with the truck killing him. Case closed.

the thief tried to evade, and got the rig stuck in the median... got out and tried to make a run for freedom. Denied!

I-35 near Fort Worth. 150 years ago they'd kill a horse thief... well, things aren't so different now. A horse would cost about a years wages, or a lot of trouble to break a wild one. Now a vehicle you can earn a living with on the road costs about two years income. Why would the revenge for stealing one be any different? But hey, I'm a simple guy. When the person is caught jumping out of the drivers seat after stealing your rig, that is proof positive you have the right thief, and there isn't much call to tie up the court system and jails with something like this. Maybe I've been watching too  much tv, but, in simpler times in this, and every, country, not much time was wasted on thieves caught dead to rights.

22 year old Francisco Velasquez stole the new Porsche 918 Spyder out of the dealership showroom, just like in Gone In 60 Seconds, except in late afternoon, from a Salt Lake dealership

Police say Velasquez broke the front glass of the dealership, stealing the key for the sports car and then driving off the property. Police pulled over the suspect near 300 S. State St. about six hours later and arrested him for theft, burglary and theft by receiving stolen property.

It sells for about a million, does the 0-60 in 2.9 seconds, and was recovered without a scratch
