Man jumps on hood of his stolen car, tries to nab thief

A North Carolina man tried to take the law into his own hands when he saw his stolen car being driven down the road. 

Two dumb moves in one day!

The man, who was not identified, contacted police Tuesday after his 2005 blue Lexus was stolen when he left the keys in the ignition while he went inside a local store, WECT reports.

Later that day while he was riding in a friend’s car, he spotted his vehicle and the two men followed it until it stopped at a red light.

The car’s owner got out and confronted the person driving his Lexus. An altercation ensued and the driver tried to get away by backing up.

The thief hit a Honda behind him before making a U-turn and running into a cemetery wall. 

He then drove off with the car’s owner hanging onto the hood of the car. The man eventually was thrown from the car after it traveled down the road. He suffered minor injuries. 

The thief got away with the damaged car. 

Way to go, Kojak.
