Patrick Rosario was in the basement of his Bellevue home on Tuesday when he heard the burglars upstairs. The Seattle Times says the 32-year-old Rosario, who had been laid off from his job as a Washington Mutual manager, called 911 while he sneaked out of the house. He saw a white van sitting in front of his house with the motor running and the keys in the ignition, and he got in and drove it to a friend's house. Police say the burglars left the televisions, a laptop computer and a jewelry box by the door and took off on foot. The sheriff's office said no arrests had been made. ___ Information from: The Seattle Times ===================== Ya know, it's only because the homeowner got to the cops first... otherwise, these guys would be making a report about somebody stealing their van....

I'm sure in the US they could actually have the guy brought up on charges.
