A pretty funny article about Junior chasing down a group of thieves who stole items from his family's Shell station. Junior chased them down in a BMW M3, called the police, and made them crash into a light pole.

LOL that picture is priceless.

wow "2008 Cooper Tires Presents The Atlantic Championship Powered by Mazda " is a mouthful. Aside from that it is an impressive tale and a cautionary one at that because you never know who has a son who is a race car driver, lol!!

Approximately two weeks ago, Strous was awoken at 3 a.m. by the alarm at his family's Shell fuel station, which is adjacent to his home in the suburb of The Hague. Strous looked outside to find three burglars and the Dutchman quickly sprang into action.

"I jumped out of bed, got dressed and ran next door," Strous explained. "Three burglars stormed out of the shop with a bag full of stolen goods and jumped into a waiting getaway car. They sped off in the direction of Amsterdam. I jumped into our BMW M3 and started to pursue them. What followed was a real exciting street race, and while driving at full speed, I called the cops. The thieves were getting very nervous because I pushed and pushed, so at the end of the motorway, they braked too late and crashed their car into a lamppost.

I love how he's using racing terminology about "pushing" them and forcing them into a mistake when the criminals "braked too late." That rules.

I wish this would have played on the national news, certainly news worthy
