Alabamawegians catch up with family that two days earlier ripped off Christmas.

Sadly, no video.

But there are pictures.

stay safe.

Good for them.  The article said the vehicle was full of stolen goods.  Were they theirs or did they rob another house? 

I wonder what the laws are there and how long they will actually be locked up.

That was a risky move on the part of the good guys.  Glad it worked out.  I wonder if there will be any blowback about "vigilantism" from TPTB down that way?

The linked article mentioned the bad guys had just burgled another home.  The goods in their truck were from that burglary.

Am I the only one noticing that the lady is  keeping to partial concealment/moderate cover (looks like the suspension and wheel would be in the path of low return fire, which would probably stop handgun rounds) and using a good rest while both of the guys in the pic have stepped out into the wide open for the confrontation?

The one on the right is very likely behind the front clip of the truck, judging by his angle. 

I picked up on it right off, too.  The lady using the truck for cover makes his standing in the open seem more obvious in my book.

Even regular ol' citizens can pick up the trash.

I noticed both the use of cover, and the pink Taurus.

Awesome story.
