I'll bet this thief was happy

he wasn't facing the other way.

News article: Woman uses wedgie to capture suspected thief

Don't understand what I mean? Let me spell it out for you. This brave lady put her hands near (down?) the back of the thief's pants, grabbed his undies, and pulled. IF the thief had been facing her, what would she have grabbed instead?

And a nitpick - if the thief was seen in act of committing a crime and indeed arrested for it...He is most definitely not a suspected thief. Associated Press sucks.
