• Bianca Chambers wasn't going to leave the sleuthing to the Detroit police after her Mercedes Benz was stolen.
Using social media tips, she tracked her car all over the city, but each time she'd call 911, police would be too late to nab the thief.
On July 13, though, she got lucky: The man who was driving her car parked and went to get his dreads twisted, and Chambers pounced.
She walked into a barbershop, Fox2 Detroit reported, and confronted him.
When he denied stealing her car, Chambers took him down by his dreadlocks. Customers subdued the unnamed man while Chambers slashed her own tires: "I thought he was gonna take off and I didn't know how long it was going to take for the police to pull up," she said. "You're just the dumbest criminal, that's all. You're joyriding in my car like nobody was going to see," she told the perp.
Police said the man has a history of car theft. [Fox2 Detroit, 7/15/2022]
