Bird's-eye view

New American, The, Jan 22, 2007 by Kurt Williamsen

An unidentified man was working on the air-conditioning system of CiCi's Pizza in Athens, Georgia, on December 19 when he "saw someone trying to break into cars," reported the Athens Banner-Herald. When the suspicious individual in the parking lot tried to open the repairman's work van, "the repairman confronted him."

The prospective thief said he thought the van belonged to his cousin and then asked for employment. The repairman pulled a gun, and the scoundrel ran for safety inside a store, where police arrested him.
