This is a story that is so unbelievable until it has to be true. A good Samaritan offered to help a man carry an over-sized flat screen TV. Obviously the man was having trouble carrying the flat screen TV by himself in the Philadelphia suburb of Wilmington. The Wilmington homeowner had just come home around noon for lunch, I suppose. So, nice guy that the homeowner is, he offered to help the man. Funny thing, the homeowner looked at the TV and found it to be quite familiar. So, familiar in fact, it looked like his own flat screen TV. The homeowner looked at his house and noticed his door was open. Then things changed rapidly. The homeowner started giving chase to the burglar who quickly threw the TV into a waiting car driven by another burglar. Homeowner calls 911 and then the police get involved.

The police quickly apprehended the duo who couldn't walk straight. The burglar carrying the TV already had several warrants for his arrest on other burglary charges. I guess the person who was most glad these two were caught was the kindly homeowner who almost helped a burglar steal his own TV. The report did not give the homeowner's name. To be honest, I don't blame him. I'd be too damn embarrassed.
