SMS happy end to stolen car: victims 1, criminals zero

I loved this story that we heard via our friend Steve Epstein. In Columbus Ohio in America, a man had his car stolen at gunpoint. The thieves drove away with a nice BMW, and the man's phone. So he, smart guy, got together with friends, who sent a bogus text message to the thieves, saying the friends have girls and drugs, where should they meet up. The stupid criminals gave their address, and they were visited by the police, who recovered the car.. Nice.. Story is at Channel 10 News out of Columbus.
