Forgetful thief caught
AN absent-minded thief was caught off guard when he tried
to sell a stolen motorcycle — to its owner.At about 6 a.m.
Sunday, Chu, a migrant worker from Hubei Province in Central
China, was riding his motorcycle in Yijing Road near the
Shenzhen TV Station, Luohu District, when a man waved him
down, the Shenzhen Economic Daily reported yesterday.When he
stopped, the man pulled a knife and demanded Chu give him the
motorcycle.Before Chu could react, the robber pushed him off
and rode away on the motorcycle.With his motorcycle gone, Chu
continued on his way home on foot.When he reached the Yanhe
Road and Beidou Road intersection, a man rode up on a
motorcycle and asked if Chu wanted to buy a motorcycle.Chu
immediately recognized the hawker as the man who had robbed
his motorcycle.Before the robber could pull his knife again,
Chu picked up a brick and hit the robber on the head,
disabling him.The thief was handed over to police for
questioning.(Tan Yaoquan)
