I want an employer like him! Someone who actually cares about employees but thank God he is safe could of resulted differently.
Amen and yeah that could have but thank God it didn't
@Rinda Foty shut up bot
@@splenced7091 you made the bot disappear :)
@@SECRETABC69 woohoo
In California they’re more likely to arrest the victim than the perp. What a backwards state. One of these videos the other day said in California the police just don’t show up to crashes. I mean, how do you go thru the insurance without a police report. Anyone still in that state deserves what they’re getting because they voted for it
NOTHING MORE SATISFYING than watching a thief being chased and caught!
Especially right in the middle of SF
@@davidshamiri1448 especially wearing that horrendous sweatshirt
Yes!
In SF nothing will happen to her.
@@tangowally Thats a fair point. Similar to us here in New Zealand. We've got rising crime but nothing is being done about it.
When you're so badass you get your own dedicated Wham Baam episode. Great work Lee and you did it safely too! Mad props!
I can’t say how much I love this guy!! He is probably even better to work for! Living for this! ❤️
Once I saw a car driving down the street riding on a rim, sparks flying. I started following and called the cops. Normally, you talk with an operator who relays info to a dispatcher, but as soon as I described the vehicle I got connected directly to a dispatcher, so I knew it was serious. I could hear other people in the background saying “CPS” (child protective services) as I continued to tell the dispatcher where we were. In less than a minute, an unmarked unit swooped in between me and them and lit them up. They turned a corner, and I continued straight. I had to turn around to get back to where I’d been heading, and when I drove by again, there were a dozen cop cars behind the vehicle, lights going and guns drawn! Turned out it was a kidnapping suspect on the run.
Don’t just ignore the crazy stuff you see, call it in! You could be saving a child’s life.
That has me wondering if there was a reward for information leading to arrest and conviction of the suspect. Certainly sounds like it could have been rewarding.
You are amazing, good sir.
Imagine kidnapping a child and proceeding to be one of the most obvious cars in traffic.
How could you see their guns as they were driving past you?
@@freedomhonkhonk5169 re-read it buddy, then play it back in your head.
This video makes me feel real good, about justice being served in a case that usually slips through, and being a Tesla owner.
what justice? the thief was released on no bail, WTF are you talking about???
Doesn't know about San Francisco's justice system being absolute dog shit
Not sure about final outcome, but you rarely see police respond to these calls, much less catch the person on the street. Sure there may not have been true justice served, but more came out of this than most cases.
@@thelastninja4825 Curious on how you know the entire case? of No Bail and released.
@JGN_YT its San Francisco , no bail needed for non violent crimes , like new York
Finally someone who isn't going to ignore crime. Awesome job at tracking them down and following her.
Good job bro we need more people like you in the world..
I've only had the opportunity to do something like this once.
Spotted an accident and one car ran, so I followed - a bit more aggressively than this Tesla - while on the phone with police.
The dispatcher said I should fall back and let them go. I said "Look, you get some blue lights out here to stop this guy, or I am going to stop this guy. Either way, he's going to be stopped. The way he's driving, it might be cross traffic that he hits."
Turns out I was right. Two minutes later a squadcar blew past me to take up the chase and almost immediately the runner blew a red light and got T-boned by a big ass landscaping truck going 45mph (or thereabouts).
Turns out it was a female runner. No license (DUI suspension), no insurance, and drunk.... and after getting landscaped, *severely* fucked up.
"getting landscaped" lmao
Instant CARma
Nice
Deserved
@@PlyrMava. He won the Internet for today! Hahaha!
The real crime is the baker had only one brake light. 😂
Well done Richard, marvelous job there kidda.
We need to do these things to make our community better.
THANKYOU.
a big hug from germany!
bro, your the man!
thx for doing this, but always think about your safety first!
He did a good job of keeping a fairly safe distance while keeping the thief in sight..though he’s lucky it wasn’t an armed, hardened criminal who would have possibly fired off some shots at the person following them. Worked out well thankfully 👍
Quite different that it was a female.
I wonder if that "thief" were a police officer. This story is too good to be true. If you would demonstrate how a Police Department works, you'd have a skilled driver playing the role of car thief. Right, an officer.
@Michaels Carport A two ton brick that will do 0-60 in 3 seconds.
A good reason to live in a constitutional carry state where you don't have to be a potential victim 24/7.
@@voornaam3191 thats such a dumb assumption
The best part is that absolutely everything was recorded.
Yeah, including numbers of driving laws broken by Tesla driver too.
@@tommydong8070 I was going to say, don't they have red light cameras in San Fran? If so, he may have wracked up quite a bill. I hope not, though. Justice was served here. Rampant crime needs to be tamped down on.
@@VesperAegis Stealing a car won't kill anybody, while running across red lights could.. If that happened he would not be the hero, no justice would have been served, just another injustice. Where is the limit? The car was insured anyway.
@@marsovac Stealing a car could kill someone through 4 or 5 degrees of separation of causality - we don't know the exact situation that person is in. If they're in a situation say, where a family member has cancer and they're about to lose their job, their child is going through hard times in school, etc etc then that car being stolen and having to go through the rigors of either finding it or getting a new one could be the "straw that tips the camel's back" in terms of an added stressor.
That being said, I would say judge the context of every red right you run through - how many of them looked dangerous in this particular video? I would say very few if any after having watched it. Not justifying running red lights in general, but I appreciate this man tracking down a criminal and reducing holistic crime when people should obviously be looking for better, more sustainable, more productive ways of income rather than taking other peoples' things through their hard work. Using one's own brain to become self-sufficient in society is one of the capstones of being human, and any justification that leads to abdicating that responsibility is a net loss for society holistically - and engenders more crime to boot.
@@VesperAegis nothing is certain, except for which one wins the risk probability
I’ve actually met Rich before and Spro is awesome. As a resident of SF, the rampant crime rate is just astounding and annoying. Well done for stopping this crime! You’re the hero this city deserves.
the chance for him to find the theft after she got off the car was epic. usually at that point, when you u-turned, you were kinda lost where to find....really nice job
Until more people decide to stand up against criminal activity it will not stop.
Way to go!!
If the idiots elected to office will let you, that is. They don't care. They have bodyguards.
wouldn't encourage this kind of stunt though.
I am definitely doing my part to get revenge on thieves and thugs. I am a main data source for all the scammers in India and nigeria. I share the personally identifiable information of convicted thieves with every scammer that I come across in the hopes that these thieves full victim to scams and lose every penny they have.
I have also created thousands upon thousands of Photoshop images and memes of convicted thieves. The one guy even threatened to commit suicide if another person asked him if he was gay because of an image that was created of him kissing his own daddy. At least that thief got off of social media right after that. But yeah I'm definitely doing my part to make these scumbags as miserable as possible.
That's racist bro
That's why I'm always packing heat
Dude the guy was so brave, he knew what he was doing was dangerous but he did it anyway. Great video, the 5 minutes felt so much longer, I though I was watching an action movie ngl lol. :) Next time I am there, maybe I could stop by.
Dangerous for other people on the road as well. Not a fan.
@@francistaylor1822 yeah, but as long as he looked both ways before ever. crossing an intersection, it was better than if he didn't. he could have just gave up the chase, but it was great he was able to stop the guy with no one else harmed
That was an unexpectedly thrilling story. Great job Rich!
You don't know how I was jumping up and down in my room 🤣😅 I felt excited that the cop got her all because of that brave man.
Thieves and crimes in SF is getting out of hand.
We need to do our part and shouldn't stand there when you see something.
Nice job to that Tesla driver.
the whole 'release without bail'-thing needs to stop. It's ruining our cities.
And vote for the right candidates.
@Joey's Adventures xD That piece of paper will deterr them!
atleast these aren’t violent crimes. in the 80s was when violent crimes was at its peak with gangs in SF.
SF especially downtown needs a lot of work
What a great guy! I'm actually going to SFO definitely wanna stop there now!
👍👍
Let him know we say hi! :)
You wanna visit as a tourist to a place notorious for a car jacking 👀 👀 lol 😆 I love the west coast. Love the palm trees
@@David-xo8zy Soon this whole country will be notorious for car jacking!
@@angli232 how do you figure when every car is moving to electric, cars that require pin codes to start like phones. Pretty sure it'll be less common unless it's by force
This was one of the most satisfying thief videos ever. Thank you.
This guy was amazing and this episode was intense!! So happy that his baker got the car back and this was a good thing to do.
I was involved in a similar incident years ago but instead of a car theft it was a hit and run. Long story short, I chased down a hit and run driver who blew through a red light and hit me. Turns out he was driving on a suspended license with no insurance because he had a vehicular manslaughter charge on him. He didn't get away but I don't know what happened to him after the police got involved. I was not charged for chasing him down but the police still had him detained when I was given the ok to leave.
I'm not condoning this kind of behavior, however I'd like to think that I may have saved a life that morning by doing what I did. I live in small town southern Oregon so who knows where he could have disappeared to if he got away, and who he could have hurt if he wasn't stopped. I wish I had a dashcam at the time.
Not only do I condone this kind of behavior, I encourage it.
There wasn't anything they could charge you with. It is legal to break minor laws to stop a major one. Running a stop sign or speeding (minor infractions) to follow a vehicle that hit and ran (generally a felony) is a perfect example of that.
I think a lot of people forget that in the US, police are not the only people with the power of arrest, all citizens have that ability. Police just have a higher allowance of what they are allowed to do to effect that arrest.
No one remembers a coward. Good work mate Ill remember you in Sweden thanks for your help ❤
At about 2:03 you can see a cop pulling out going the wrong way lol and Rich is a hero 🙌
Best video i saw on youtube today :D thank you!
Glad it turned out well. 100% that car would have been gone if he didn't chase after it. SF is known for absurd levels of (un-prosecuted) crime right now.
Corrupt politicians who commit theft on a massive scale don’t support prosecuting thieves for some reason. I have no idea why. 🤷♂️
R. I. P his safety score😂
Autopilot is a waste of a perfectly good car anyway.
Awesome job man love the way you respect your employees property you sir are a bloody legend
GOOD JOB RICH. You gotta do what you gotta do man. Too much crime in SF now a days. Im thankful for this Tesla footage, using its AP cameras. :)
Holy cow that was great! My heart was pumping for him lol. I can totally see why he would do this since he is looking out for the best interest of his employee.
Places like San Francisco and other dense urban cities have become a cesspool for crime where the justice system favors criminals over the victims. Hope to see more people step up from this madness to do something.
. 👍🙂👍
Yep, it's sad. These politicians don't have to live in the affected areas so they don't care at all.
All it takes is acting on crime to do something about bringing it down. Years of slaps on the wrist get you this... That person probably has a mile long list of prior crimes and was probably out on the street again less than 24hrs later.
Vigilantism is on the rise though, I saw a nice story about a thief that stole a car with a kid in it (and absolutely did not care about the kid) and people from multiple neighborhoods came together to chase the car down. A neighbor ended up pinning the guy to a fence with his car and would not release him till the police got there!
It's dangerous because you can get shot, but people are absolutely sick of it and take their chances.
well , these SF residents keep voting those lunatic liberals
year after year, so, they deserve it
Thats Democrats for you.
Thank you Tesla person for doing this. Car theft, although rarer, is still an issue here in SF. Like this is ridiculous. A gang once broke into my grandparent's house and stole their car and drove it through the garage door.
That was the most suspenseful wham bam thank you cam I have ever seen
Imagine going to take a coffee and someone is taking your car, but the owner of the coffee shop has your back...
If I'm ever in the area Im definitely hitting up his coffee shop, and tipping generously
People like this is the reason why I still have some hope for humanity with the amount of things going on
dont hold your breath for humanity, it will be over soon
im going on a big trip through large cities from chicago to LA and san francisco is in my path of the route so i might make a stop to see the coffee shop and thank him for his heroic actions.
DAMN GOOD JOB RICH!!!!! This was a perfect outcome!! Car undamaged and the thief in jail (for at least 120 minutes). Props to Rich for not listening to the dispatcher telling him to stop, and for having a Tesla that caught every angle of this epic chase.
Never imagine a tesla owner would save his co-worker vehicle, specially it's a Honda. LMAO
as a honda owner i must say not all honda owners hate tesla I would love one myself if I could afford it
Great work Rich, San Francisco needs more citizens like you. Hopefully San Francisco voter rise up this June for our District Attorney Chesa Boudin's recall election. Also love this video, it's a good tour of San Francisco Mission Bay / South Beach neighborhood. Adobe @0:33, Zynga @ 1:48, Caltrain station @2:55, Oracle Park (Giants Stadium) @3:11, South Beach Harbor Marina @3:27,
Yes because before the district attorney SF had no crime. The truth is the cops in SF are not doing their jobs.
Lmfao did yall try to recall your corrupt governor, and that had some shady dealing with it. How about you volunteer to count ballots and bring intergity to elections. Also, to the other guy, the DA is to a degree in charge of the poloce because they decide if they are gonna charge someone for a crime. If you see a DA isnt going to charge for a crime, why pursue the people breaking the laws?
@@vandreadparty because y'all defunded them tf
@@vandreadparty fair point but I would rather a SF DA focus on SF crimes and not use the city to push some national criminal justice reform agenda. Also not a fan of the SF DA being a former public defender, talk about asking a fox to guard a hen house.
@@virtuousoutlaw What is wrong with public defenders? Everyone needs representation, remember innocent until proven guilty. My overall point still stands, SF has had these problems for years and in some cases decades, and blaming the new DA who has been there for 5 mins does not help. Also, the real solution is for NIMBYS to get out of the way so we can build more housing and public transportation. This is how you fix a city like SF.
Hands down the best video yet!!!!
I live in Oakland. I am coming over for coffee one Saturday. Great work!
Damn, I was on the edge of my seat - sick video. Glad the perp was caught!
It was dangerous because you just never know the mental state of others but I'm so glad he never gave up. People like her deserve to be taught a lesson.
This kept me at the edge of my seat. What a great story!
Thanks for helping catch the woman never letting up and helping your employee and for being persistent
This was very interesting, Like watching a TV episode 👏👏👏
The dispatcher told him to stop chasing the car and when the thief got out now the dispatcher tells him to follow her from a distance 😂 🤦♂️
Most call takers are not Police trained.
You can ignore them as they are not qualified to give any advice at all....
@@JohnSmith-yv6eq ya they should stfu and make sure they have cops on the way because they won’t stop nothing but try to fix it after the damage is done! 🤦♂️
Nice work. Honest people need to make a difference when they have an opportunity.
Awesome job dude!
An employer looking out for the ones under him is an employer worth working for.
This was awesome!! Probs to Rich for going above and beyond for his employee
That was soo awesome ! Well done!
We need to catch thieves because I’m tired of them always getting away without consequences. We need someone like him.
Never leave with a low SOC - then you'll catch any car thief 💪
Hopefully Rich didn't get into trouble for some minor traffic violations?
Anything over 30% SoC should be ok. Even punching it across lights, you're not even challenging the capabilities of the car. The average speed should be fairly low, so the range should be long enough for either the police to show up or the idiot making a mistake.
Wow Rich took risks blowing through red lights, but I'm really glad justice is served.
Agreed... but since it was early and little traffic... I'd like to think I would have done the same. In the middle of the day? Maybe not... but then again, the thief would have had to deal with the traffic as well...
Not just risks going thru the lights. As others have mentioned, could have been an armed thief. Kudos to him though, he followed as responsibly as he could have.
There is no content better than wham baam
Well this is easily the best video ever on the channel. Wham Baam Award!
The part not shown is when she was released without bail, the DA refused to prosecute her for auto theft, and she only received a citation for parking in a no parking zone. (sarcasm)
Link the source
Could totally be true. Thank for adding sarcasm in parentheses
@@THEFIRE360 you missed the (sarcasm)
@@THEFIRE360 it's a joke about San Francisco's almost complete lack of prosecution over crime.
People get arrested, but released with lesser charges or no charges at all, and the circle continues.
Crime is so bad vigilantes like this is beginning to rise. I don't blame the people...
The real question is, how many red lights/stop signs did Rich blow through and get ticketed for? LOL
None. It is legal to break minor laws (running a red light) to stop/prevent major ones (grand theft auto). Rich didn't actually do anything illegal, and his dash cam footage would also prove he wasn't being reckless while doing so either. Truthfully, Rich's footage could be used as a great example of how to properly pursue someone, even if you are law enforcement.
This guy should just attach red and blue lights since he is deep undercover lmao
Best episode ever! Wow! Wham Bam indeed😉
This dude is a hero and should be regarded as such. We should all aspire to have the courage to choose to engage in an effort of implementing justice as he did in this video.
No, this is stupidity.
@@jonbandito73 And what is your reasoning?
So far you have a pretty weak argument~
@@rossdavis428 it's not my argument that's weak bro, pretty sure it's your lack of common sense.
@@jonbandito73 You can't even provide a reason for your perspective; just excuses for why you dislike a hero~
All that you have proven here is that the lacking of sense is definitively with you~
@@rossdavis428 i shouldn't have to provide a reason, it speaks for itself. But fine. 1. His life. Unnecessarily risked for an inanimate object. 2. The lives of others he risked by provoking the theif to drive recklessly. 3. The lives of others he risked by driving reckless himself. 4. Refusing the request to back off multiple times. Do you really need more? This man is not a hero. He is just another moronic vigilante risking the lives of not only himself but many others as well in his quest to boost his own personal ego and self-righteousness.

@@rm-ih1ns John Stuart Mill
I had this EXACT experience in SF, but I was on a bicycle following bike thieves. I rode up to a parking officer, they radioed it in, I kept up the chase and the cops descended on the bad guys like flies on sh*t. We got the bikes back the the owners (out-of-towners on a bike tour) and the bad guys got arrested. Scary, but satisfying.
Will def. support that coffee shop! Good job dude!
Congrats on the shop, Rick! What a legend.
Awesome job dude! That's an awesome boss! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nice work Rich.
Awesome Job Rich! You put some hurt to the criminal for a change.
That was the stealthiest Jogging Dress i've ever seen
We need more people like this.
Best Wham bam tesla cam video!
Can you imagine being that person who realized a random car behind him knew he stole the victim's car. I bet he questioned reality when he found out he was being tailed by a car that appeared out of nowhere.
Great job!!! Glad to see positive outcome!
he could become a cop one day!
Great video👍
Great job Rich.👍
Take notes y’all. The cops can’t do it alone. It takes a village. Be safe, don’t let them get away with anything. Way to go!
More like cops won't do it alone if you abandon the pursuit of the stolen vehicle and person (they just give you a crime reference number + insurance problem, for police it's not there issue just a statistic)
Once you start following them it becomes a liability issue for the police if they don't respond once you refuse to back off, the operator can't prevent you from doing it (but unfortunately a lot of people do obey and the stolen car or hit and run driver gets away with it)
@@leexgx preach it brother!!! I’ve followed drunks and road ragers and dispatch every single time told me to stop and hell no I’m not stopping!!! Come get this dude or people will get hurt. What this world needs is more freaking accountability. Integrity. And a frigging back bone.
It's time to show these themes who their bosses are and make these thieves submit to their masters. Fortunately for all the scammers in India and nigeria, the personally identifiable information belonging to a convicted car thief is fair game and not protected by the privacy act.
Last person who stole from me got a tactical dose of life-changing whoop ass.
He stole an old laptop that he was supposed to be fixing for me. It was probably only worth about 50 bucks or so.
Right after he moved out of his mother's house and into an apartment with his girlfriend and two children, it was me who reported him to CPS for child abuse and drug dealing on the street corner. It completely changed that thief's life. I would do it all again if needed.
That punk also got permanently banned from all government assistance programs because he was reported for selling his food stamps balance for drug money. I also photoshopped him kissing a random dude at the bar when they were both drunk. His girlfriend broke up with him because she thought he cheated on her for a guy. So yeah I don't play nicely with people who steal from me and I encourage others to retaliate in kind against all thieves. Even if it's just a $20 pair of headphones or something inexpensive like that.
MAKE THIEVES MISERABLE AND MAKE THEM SUFFER. Then maybe they will stop being thieves.
Very satisficed to watch the end result of this crime related video. Hopefully, justices will be served.
OUTSTANDING!!!!
I mean sure he took some risks & broke some rules but he did seem to use caution so props man.
Well done that guy!!
Rich is a Boss! He's amazing, and no one should put themselves in danger, but he rocked it and we love this!
What an amazing person, poseibly sacrifices his life for someone's car, great video!
Tell me you're joking. Life for a car? really?
@@jonbandito73 Yes. If you look at it as "just a car", then either you have a plethora of disposable income, or you simply don't care. If you look at is as months to years of hard work, it's worth a life.
At first i thought to myself that he was following the thief too closely and could get ugly if the guy had a weapon but then i remembered this was taking place in SF.
lol keep walking around in SF with that mentality and see what happens
great work
Thank you so much for what you did. 💓
This story is staying in the Tesla history 😂
being SF , the thief will be released in no time, at least u got the car back , good job
Great video. It's encouraging that doing the right thing is still considered the best thing to do. I wonder how long before the car thief was cut loose by the useless SF DA? Jess
@Rich: Well done! Yes, you did blew several red lights but you allways (!) did so with a great sense of proportion to make it as safe as possible. Great job! SF should honor you!
So happy the owner got their car back at least and justice have been served
Rich is a hero. All that Tesla Cam footage will go a long way in court. I hope she gets put away for a long long time.
It's lephty frisco, cali. It/she/they will be out in a matter of minutes bruh.
Nice vid dude
2:03 isn’t that a cop in the distans or I am just dreaming? Love your vids btw!!
Beautiful video as always. I'm satisfied 😃
What a brave guy!
What an amazing story! Glad they got to her!
The most shocking part of the video is that the cops not only showed up but in a timely manner. Sad indictment of how bad things have gotten.
