NW MIAMI-DADE (CBS4) ― In the movie "Network", a TV newscaster railed against injustice by shouting "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!" That may have been what one South Florida man may have felt when he attacked a thief who was caught picking is pocket, on camera, as he stood in line at a convenience store.
The store's security camera caught the whole thing in living color. The men were in a Marathon gas station in Northwest Miami-Dade, at NW 16th Avenue and 119th street. Clearly, you saw a man look around, and then start creeping toward a customer at the counter. Oblivious to the camera, he knelt down, and snuck his hand into the back pocket of the customer.
He may need to work a bit on his technique. His sleight of hand was a bit heavy handed, and the customer whipped around to find him the pickpocket crouching at belt level.
The angry customer clobbered the guy, and they dropped to the ground and scuffled. The bandit managed to get the best of the customer, and he scrambled off the floor and out the door, zipping off in a waiting gold sedan, also conveniently captured in crystal clarity on a security camera.
Police have plenty of good pictures of the thief, so the man could soon be placed in jail, where nobody has wallets and pickpockets don't have much to do.
