Police Chase Ends When Pigs Capture Car Thief
Before my Law Enforcement friends get upset at me about a derogatory name calling let me tell you what happened in Germany. Seems a car thief was captured after he fled from a stolen car into nearby woods and into the middle of a herd of wild hogs.
Police in Schwerin say the 18-year-old abandoned a stolen SUV he was driving Thursday after failing to shake off a chasing patrol car by driving into a field.
Police nabbed his passenger immediately. But they say the driver initially got away by running into nearby woods.
Officers then heard the fugitive shouting for help - he had run into a herd of angry wild boars that were keen to protect their young.
Police freed the man from the boars and took him into custody.

A strange story for sure but far from boar ing 
That’s too funny! It just doesn’t pay to run from the cops. I gotta give the guy credit for having a few brain cells - I mean, at least he realized it’d be better to take his chances with the police than the wild hogs.
